I've been a big astrophysics nut since I was 12. I have always had a real soft spot for the bizarreness of quantum mechanics. But I gave up on being a scientist in high school - I'm just not that good at math.
I loved teaching. In addition to that, I love physics. And so what could be better than to talk physics to bright young students?
I got into physics through pop science and quantum science and ended up being such a quantum groupie.
I have always enjoyed explaining physics. In fact it's more than just enjoyment: I need to explain physics.
Physics is a hobby of mine, as much as a person of limited intelligence can understand physics.
When I was 18, science, physics, and math were my favorite. I was a bit of a nerd - the only girl with a lot of boys at chess championships.
I'm a bit of a layman physics junkie. I don't really understand it, but I love trying to understand it.
