Scientific Contributions

July 24, 2022 jeremy Communication, Education and Outreach, Mathematics and Statistics, Physics and Astronomy

How do you contribute to science? My instinctual answer for so long was: become an academic and publish cutting-edge research, pushing humanity’s knowledge forward. This seemed pretty obvious. My reasoning was that scientists are the ones who do the science, so of course that’s the way to contribute. It was part of why I continued...

People

Do I Understand You?

May 24, 2022 jeremy Communication, Education and Outreach, Mathematics and Statistics, Physics and Astronomy

When I was an undergraduate first getting into research, I focused on hiding my lack of knowledge over growing from my confusion. I would often nod along while my supervisor said things I didn’t understand1. I would fool myself into thinking that I could figure it out from context. I didn’t, since these were technical...

Research Collaborations

April 24, 2022 jeremy Communication, Education and Outreach, Mathematics and Statistics, Physics and Astronomy

Working on cutting-edge science is fun, but it’s even better when you can do it with a bunch of enthusiastic scientists who push each other to their potential. Having a group of scientists working on a single goal means its easier to move past barriers that might have blocked a scientist working on their own....
