I wanted to be a physicist to try to understand the world around me. For example, I am interested in understanding the weak interaction. It’s one of the four known forces, but it’s really weird. It plays a less obvious role in holding the universe together, but it does lots of things that the other forces don’t do. So, are these unique properties fundamental to the structure of the universe, or just some happy accident? I love that I get to ask these questions, and to be a part of finding the answer. And I get to do it with a bunch of interesting people from around the world. It also means a fair bit of travel. My favorite place to go is whatever new place I am heading to next.
