As in previous editions, the October 2016 slideshow includes lots of colorful slides on diverse physics careers and topics. Material in this month’s edition includes:
- Profiles of Ellen Ochoa, Director at Nasa Johnson Space Center and one of the first Hispanic women in space; Phil Wu, a postdoctoral researcher studying superconductivity at Stanford University; Colin Howard, a recent PhD graduate who now uses physics principles to treat cancer at Mevion systems; and SPS Intern Isabel Binamira, who spent her summer developing content for social media and the Physics Central website!
- Data highlighting the initial salaries for physics PhD grads, and important Management and Interpersonal Skills used by physics PhDs in the private sector.
- Information about valuable career resources for students, including APS Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP); The Vector, a monthly publication with news and information for Undergraduate students; and Physics, the online news and commentary source featuring the cutting-edge published research.
- Information on the Galileo mission’s measurements of Jupiter and its surrounding moons, trains that use superconducting magnets, Degas paintings with secret layers exposed by X-ray technology, and the physics of coffee rings!
