I was intrigued by how Mark Alpert used his capabilities in science to better help him in the creative writing world. He uses his knowledge on physics to derive his passion for writing. "Mark has loved science his whole life" He has worked towards making a name for himself by attending University of Princeton.  In which he received high praise for his final project applying Albert Einstein's theory about gravity. For a change Mark decided to attend Columbia for a degree in creative writing. He began working as a journalist, taking a completely different direction of what he studied in college. On his journey of becoming a writer he landed a job as a small town reporter. Starting off small he was able to truly see how his new love for writing felt in the real world. He later on moved to Alabama to work on another newspaper named "The Advertiser" and later on finally combined his two passions by writing thrillers and science fiction novels, while enjoying time with his loving family. I believe Mark's love for science gave him the potential to pursue such a successful and fulfilling career in writing.

I found inspiring the amount of hard work December puts into her studies. The amount of studies she does outside of school surprised me. Everyday she practiced math and science for 4 hours. This knowledge of math and science that she obtained from her long study sessions would aid her in the future when she would peruse physics in college.

Years after college December pursues a path of hardware engineering. She helps design a medical device that allows you to monitor HIV/AIDS in countries that are less economically stable. People who inhabit these countries who are less fortunate benefit from the technology December helped create.

The hard work that she put in during her early years in high school is what allowed her to thrive during college taking part time jobs without falling behind in classes. The strong work ethic that she created helped her throughout her whole life has allowed her to create something that makes her feel like she made a difference in the world.

Prototype Engineer - research and development facility founded by Google

It was interesting to me that Weiss's curiosity  fueled his desire to understand the complex and diverse world.

After graduation Weiss kept his options open, which led to him being apart of a small hardware company. He describes this as, "It was a scrappy group of engineers cooking circuit boards on hot plates in a tiny room with no ventilation. Bingo … [they were] pioneering open source hardware and I fell in love with building electronics and haven’t stopped since.”

Weiss now does research and development facility founded by Google. He contributes towards  many space and self driving car projects. He also has a company called "Bitsmashed". This GPS tracking systems like Hawkpack – a solar powered backpack worn by large birds of prey that can track their motion.

Aaron Weiss used his physics knowledge to work and create on exciting and interesting projects.

Deborah wanted to be an astronaut, but wasn't able to so she worked on her studies. I was surprised at how much passion Deborah had to philosophy , during her time at the Brandeis University in Boston. Deborah was the first Mexican woman to graduate from the Stanford University in California. She graduated with a PhD in physics. Deborah wanted to to do something new so she became a quantitative risk analyst. She determined how risky financial are and can be. Deborah teaches her clients to use mathematical models, creating models which will assess the risk of investments worth millions. Deborah has been very helpful to many people. I was happy to get Deborah because, many people have benefited from Deborah's help.

Laura Kasian is a physicist who works for Sony Pictures Imageworks on some of our favorite movies. Movies ranging from The Suicide Squad to the Spiderman into the spider verse movies. She operates behind the scenes to smooth out technical elements that go into these movies. She has more of an unusual career path in the physics world. She has her doctorate, PhD and a law degree from various places.

I thought it was very interesting to see physicists take this path in life. Its still strange to me that someone would get such an advanced degree and then go on to help with the making of movies. She is a real inspiration in the movie and production world to be able to do what she can.

She makes the movies that we love and know more realistic. Its amazing how she learned physics and then was able to apply them to movies to make these great motion pictures with Sony.

I was surprised how much Allison travels to different places to share her knowledge of diseases, specifically cancer, and help people who are less fortunate.
It is clear that Allison's interest and career is driven by her need to help others and her aunt's struggle with cancer.
Allison's role as Miss Washington, she is spreading information and raising awareness of cancer prevention, treatment, and funding. Her volunteering in places like Mexico, India, and Ecuador to inform and help people who are directly affected by these diseases or who don't have much knowledge of them. Allison's previous knowledge of the sciences from high school and her interest in helping others is likely what helped her do what she has.

I was surprised that not only does Albin's job deal with medicine and biology, but it also deals with some technology as well. Albin has to routinely work with machines like MRI, which treat cancer, but these machines are very complex and require a lot of testing to ensure that they work and patient feels comfortable while it works.

I think Albin is driven by a passion for helping people that are struggling with cancer. As a big part of his job is making sure that the patients feel the least amount of pain possible during chemotherapy. He contributes a lot to the world by taking on this difficult but very helpful job, he helps and treats many people who have cancer,  saving their lives.

The skills necessary to operate such a potentially dangerous machine would likely be a background in physics, as the machine uses radiation to kill harmful cancer cells.

I chose Gabriela because I found it interesting how she was so fascinated to be able to explain the way the world works by using physics. She originally wanted to be a math teacher like her mother was, but realized she liked physics more after taking the class in high school. I've always been interested in the logical aspect of how things work. Along with this, Gonzalez is fascinated by how stars and things in space correlate to the study of how everything works. Mixing the two is a perfect representation of two topics that I am pretty fascinated with. Gonzalez works with detectors for gravitational waves, and the collision of black holes and supernova explosions.

Pediatric Cardiologist in Central Oregon

# data[].attributes.body
Something that surprised me about her profile is how many places she has worked. Normally doctors stay at one practice but she has hopped around to different practices. Another thing that surprised me is she was the first Pediatric Cardiologist in Central Oregon which is a big accomplishment.

Many kids benefit from DR. Tajchman. Kids who have heart problems can go to her for help. Because of all her education she is able to help kids in need.

These physicists contribute a lot to society. They are able to help people in need which I believe is a good job to have. Dr. Tajchman is able to help many different kids every year overcome their heart issues.

I believe that physicists like DR. Tajchman has other interests in mind while doing their work. She is able to help kids who have heart problems and she tries her best to cure/help them.

when i first saw the job "youtuber" being my first choice I had thought I mis clicked something and went back just to find everything I had filled out. Then i started to read.

Dianna is the creator of the youtube channel Physics girl working with PBS studios. she creates educational videos about physics for children. some of her videos are titled "How to create a vortex in a pool" or "why is the universe flat" and discuss and explain the topics for children to understand them.

Dianna has won awards with her channel. She also inspires many children especially little girls to take an interest in and pursue a career in science.

Pediatric Cardiologist in Central Oregon.

I was surprised to know she became the first pediatric cardiologist in central Oregon.

I think Urszula believes in helping those in need and caring for people. She also values education and learning. She is also a good problem solver and is constantly trying to find new solutions to medical issues through her researches.

She helps the world by helping children with heart disease and also doing extensive research in order to be able to help tons of more people suffering with other medical issues.

The people who benefit from Urszula are kids who suffer from heart issues or diseases, also the patients she helps through researches and trials.

The skills that is think helped Urszula is her passion for her field and her engagement in learning and researching new things. It is evident she is very enthusiastic about her career and enjoys it.

Mark Alpert has loved science his whole life. After high school, he studied astrophysics at Princeton University in New Jersey. For his final project, he applied Albert Einstein’s theory about gravity, called General Relativity, to a hypothetical universe called Flatland. The resulting scientific paper has been referenced by other authors more than 100 times. Because of the success of this project, after earning his bachelor’s degree at Princeton, Alpert tried something different. He studied creative writing at Columbia University in New York City. He earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in poetry and then began working as a journalist. His first job was as a small-town reporter for the Claremont, New Hampshire, newspaper The Eagle Times. He then moved on to the Montgomery, Alabama, newspaper The Advertiser. Alpert is currently an editor of Scientific American magazine and a best-selling author of science thriller novels for adults. He loves spending time with his wife and two teenage children as well as playing softball for the Scientific American team.

I was really happy to get Mark Alpert because I love to read and write thrillers especially. I'm going to read one of his books called The Doomsday Show because I want to learn more about his career and the way that he incorporates science into his writing.

It was interesting to find someone who is able to incorporate their knowledge of science in order to help others in a law based field. Ziegler received a bachelors degree as well as a J.D. with honors in science and physics. Prior to reading about Amy Ziegler I have always heard of majors in English or history when relating to law but Ziegler states that patent law is a  "very lucrative, good job for people with a science and engineering background who go to law school." This gave me perspective on the ability to have a variety of studies and still find a job that is a combination of all. Ziegler prioritized studies in physics and "fell into" law which brought her to the success she is now experiencing. When working with experienced scientists and inventors on certain cases her study of physics was a massive help in her overall comprehension of the subjects at hand. Physics provides many jobs that can be extremely interesting to those who are interested in law similarly to me. Advancing to trademarking can be a rewarding occupation and the ability to work in an exciting court room is a plus. These jobs can become attainable once completing a physics degree because it demonstrates determination. Amy Ziegler is now a part owner of a law firm and her team is the "number one filer of trademark in the U.S." This is an excellent example of a multifaceted woman with interest in law and science.

I was surprised how Kate is very interested in outreach, particularly in developing countries where there may not be a lot of access to technology and traditional physics labs.

It is very obvious that Kate carries a tremendous passion for her work and communicating science to others. By participating in outreach, the hope is to get more people involved in and excited about science.

I see that many students in developing countries have benefitted from her outreach work. She also does a tremendous amount of work to promote women in the field of physics.
