Just by looking at her picture, I would have never guessed that she is a rapper. She both writes and raps about physics, as her main job is to explain complicated research to people. In complex projects such as the LHC (Large Haldron Collider), people are often scared of what this major project could mean, so she explains it in a simplistic and comical way.

The general public benefits from Kate's work. Her primary focus is to allow people that would not typically understand complicated physics-related topics, to understand them. She also helps out large organizations by giving them support from this general public that she is educating.

Her creative writing skills and her knowledge of physics are what allows her to do her job so successfully. She needs to understand the complex projects that she is writing about, and also use her creativity to simplify them for everyone. I want her job.

Here is her most famous rap if you would like to listen

I was Surprised by Amy because she said that her profession was just something that she fell into. She said that she used to help physicists out and she had always liked physics since high school, wanting to do something with it in her life. She says she loves her job now and that it is very lucrative.

I believe that the goal to do the best that they can do but mostly to help people is what drives them. The goal to make a difference and help people out in unique ways.

The physicists contribute to the world by sharing their research, their facts, and their unique takes on situations. They are able to bring different perspectives from different backgrounds, further benefiting research and helping people look at things in new ways.

I was surprised to find Allison Porter on my list because i had never considered being a Biophysics Technician as a career. i was also surprised to find out that she has majored in astrophysics at Harvard and later pursued a career in Biophysics

Allison is also an avid supporter of making the world a better place. after graduating from Harvard she entered the Miss America Pageant due since the goal of the pageant is to develop well rounded women. she is now Miss Washington and uses her platform to raise awareness for cancer prevention, treatment and funding

Allison volunteers all around the world educating and helping others and she is currently working as a technician in a cancer research lab in Seattle studying the cell transfer between mother to fetus that may occur between pregnancy, Allison and her research group believe that these transferred cells that remain in the bodies of both the fetus and mother for years could be related to autoimmune diseases. Some autoimmune treatments and therapies can be effective on cancer so the research Allison and her team are doing could lead to improvements in cancer treatments.

Software Reliability Engineer at Google

Surprisingly, Zahra started in premed. She was unsatisfied by premed though so she decided to start studying material science but this led her to ponder deeper questions moving her to physics.

In her career she started National Institute of Standards and Technology. She used her experience at NIST to land her a job at Google where she now uses satellite imagery to improve Google Maps . Her new job includes a lot of feedback which she credits as a reason quality of work is high at her job.

What surprised you about your profile?
What values and goals do you believe drive these physicists in their careers?
How do you think these physicists contribute to society and help the world?
Who do you think benefits from the work of these physicists?
Can you infer what skills allowed them to accomplish what they did in their careers?

I can assume that very many people who utilize Google Maps on the road as it is not just her job to improve it but in the instance of an outage she also works with others to fix it. I can assume that a part of her success was her ability to use feedback and interact well with others as she says that there as a lot of talking and interaction at her job.

The reason behind her wanting to become a doctor came from a very personal and inspiration story. She showed her interest in becoming a Biophysics Technician due to seeing her aunt's fight with Ovarian Cancer. In high school, she had gotten interested in astrophysics with a lecture that gave the students to be bale to create s stimulated solar system and with it determining their mass and velocities. She learns more off a philosophical perspective.

What really shocked me was that after she had graduates Harvard, she went on to the Miss America pageant. She was   representing the state of Washington.She decided to do the Pageant since they had a goal to develop the women well rounded. She also did it for cancer awarnece, treatment and funding.

She had volunteered in a lot of community related activities.She spent a lot of time around the world. She first started in Mexico in where she worked in aiding disabled children in India, and as a mobile surgery unit in Equador. Currently she works in Seattle as a technician. Her group studies cells that during pregnancy passes from the mother to fetus.

I was surprised by Maggie Seeds of because they followed their passion and turned it into a career path without thinking about the risks. She always knew that she wanted pursue her passion in college. She felt physics was a great fit for her as she enjoyed solving complex problems.

I believe that there goals are the reason they are in this field and I really admire that about her. I feel her ability to be flexible and examine a problem in many points of views is what drives her to follow this career path.

The people I believe benefit from her work are the people that she is working with. One of the main successes of her job is to help her coworkers and allow them to do their job to the best of their ability. If she is doing her best her coworkers are as well.

I was surprised to find that Urszula was the first pediatric cardiologist in Central Oregon. I originally assumed that this would be a more common job however I admire her for taking the risk of becoming the first pediatric cardiologist.

Urszula is driven by values such as kindness and hard work. She helps those with heart problems but also dedicates her life teaching children and their families about how to take care of her health. When she's not helping others, she's working hard to study molecular biology.

Many people benefit from Urszula's work. Not just children who have heart disease problems, but their families and loved ones as well. She also helps teach families about how to take care of themselves which benefits them by lowering their risk of getting sick.

I was surprised that Allison switched from wanting to be a doctor to pursuing a degree in astrophysics. It also was surprising that she became Miss Washington in the Miss America pageant and put her title to use by raising money for cancer prevention and treatment.

I believe her valuing her aunt having ovarian cancer drives her to raise money and leads her to find improvements in medicine for cancer.

These physicists contribute great amounts of knowledge and help to the world. They strive to find new cures for diseases, inspire people with their raps and youtube videos, and teach those who want to learn.

It surprised me that there were so many freelance or magazine authors in the Physics work field and that they were able to make a good amount of money writing.

I think Arin Brady is able to help the world using physics because she is able to teach others new facts of pieces of information they may not have known before. She's able to teach all kinds of people about the world while making it entertaining and fun for people.

Being a planetarium manager, Arin Brady's work benefits anyone who comes to the planetarium. This could be anyone of any age, but most likely will be benefiting children by helping them learn in a fun way.

I was suprised that with a degree in Physics, Cortney became an intelligence officer. These are two very different careers at first glance, but must have something in common if she was able to get the job.

Being an intelligence officer, she has done much for the society and the world. This is mainly because she helps improve data collection to help the government better function. Not only does this help with safety and security, but with many other government fields as well.

Cortney values mentors, getting help, and giving help. These teamwork values allow her to better collaborate with the people around her, making herself and others better at their jobs.

I found December interesting because she said that she discovered her passion for physics in high school, meaning that it took her some time before finding what she is passionate about, which I can relate to.

December worked a part-time job while pursuing an undergraduate degree. During college, she met a scientist at a networking event and through this scientist, she was able to get an interview and her first professional job from the scientist's same company. Later on in her career, December was able to launch a medical device to help monitor HIV/AIDS.

December says she loves being able to help people and and that she loves the science community even more. It is her passion for physics that has helped her maintain a successful career.

Dianna Cowern of the YouTube channel Science Girl has a very engaging and rewarding profession. She managed to merge her passion and interests with a flexible fun job that also pays well.

Dianna surprised me because she is able to access and inspire a community of thinkers and inspire many young girls a group that may feel restricted by societal norms. She used entrepreneurial skills in combination with charisma to build a YouTube channel and then was able to make content about an area where he was sophisticated.

Her profession not only informs people about physics but presents physics in a fun and engaging way. This strategy is a better way to inspire the youth.

With Erin's double major in physics and studio art what I can infer is that she used her knowledge in physics to create a fun experience at the planetarium for all visitors.

her love for both art and physics drove her to pursue this career. Even in collage she knew that she wanted to share this with general audiences.

The people who get to watch the planetarium shows benefit from this as well as the people who worked on the show. They get to see that people enjoy the work that they've created using physics.

Alison surprised me because she went into Health Policies even though she went into a physics major. She also had a surprising escapade in Africa where she was hospitalized in Mali. She was working with the United Nations. This inspired her to work in health policies as she became aware of international health services.

Her values and goals push her to want to help other countries health services and improve health services in the United States. She believes that everyone deserves valid care.

Her skills of computer science and physics gave her the critical thinking skills to accomplish what she does now. She learned to learn and not to know. Because of physics she is a better learner.

I was quite surprised to learn that Laura's physics degree would end up turning into a job working on animation for Sony. She is a physicist who analyizes many aspects of movies that we don't even think about. I think that animators are able to be more free and creative when they know they have the backing of a physicist to check and ensure their work makes sense. Laura is a great example of showing that physics is about learning skills, rather than learning fact. Laura's deviated career path shows that the strength that physics provides as a major, comes not from the facts you learn, but the skills you pick up learning them. Laura also devoloped a diverse skill set, thanks to her studying law on top of physics. The diversity in her studies, on top of the skills she learned, allowed her to embark on the path she did.

Debbie was an avid science enjoyer and she wanted to become an astronaut. What surprised is that she let go of these pursuits in favor of a more stable job for her future.

Even though she could not pursue her dreams, she still contains a deep love for physics. Since she knows the value of science and contains great love for science, she can drive future physicists to continue with their own dreams.

Even though Debbie might not be a physicist, she still influences many future  physicists. As she even said, "I would love to become a female role model for those girls who love science but somehow feel trapped"

I was surprised to learn that after getting her degree in astrophysics at Harvard she participated in a pageant to raise awareness for cancer prevention, research, and funding.

A very important part of her life that started her interest in science is her aunts fight with ovarian cancer. This situation drives her to find new research about how to prevent cancer and develop more ways to study cancer as well.

Allison also went to Mexico and volunteered in many community service opportunities. During her time there, she helped teach about disease education and even worked at a disabled children's orphanage in India and was a part of a mobile surgery unit in Ecuador.

Specifically people that have been affected by cancer benefit off of her research, but, many other people such as children and many people all around the world benefit off of her drive to help everyone in any way that she can. One of her skills that help her complete the things that she is doing with her life is her social skills and ability to understand what others are going through in the world.

It surprised me that Gabriela is able to be both a professor at LSU college, in addition to conducting research on the side. Gabriela helps to invent important detectors helping to prevent black hole collisions and supernova explosions.

Growing up she initially thought her path would lead to becoming a math teacher, however, she found her love for physics in high school. Her fascination in space and gravitational waves in space influenced her decision to go into astrophysics.

In her career Gabriela continues to teach her findings as a professor and helps make a difference in space.

Production Technician and Software Engineer

Laura surprised me and showed that someone with an astrophysics degree could become someone who works on hit movies like the spiderverse series. She helps filmmakers realize their dreams.

She contributes to society by making movies possible. Movies like The Suicide Squad, Angry Birds, and Love Death and Robots wouldn't have happened.

We all benefit from Laura's work because we get great movies and video games out of it. She helps create special and visual effects that make movies possible.

After reading about Albins background in physics and job he works everyday I learned about physics applications in a field I could be interested in. Albins background in physics allows him to work in a very fast paced environment and treat over 40 patients per day. The skills Albin has learned from his physics background definitely has aided in his ability to treat cancer patients more effectively.

I feel that Albin is driven by wanting to help people and make an impact while also having time with family. Albin along with other doctors treat cancer patients with very high doses of chemo while trying to limit the amount of pain the patients are in. It is also very obvious that Albin wants to help cancer patients and make there experience with radiation and chemo as painless as possible.

I think that physicists are able to contribute to society and make an impact because of the unique skill set they have acquired. Albin is able to understand how to adapt to the latest technology, make treatment plans more effective/efficient and problem solve so that patients are comfortable.

Deborah surprised me because she went into Finance even though her childhood dream was to be a astronaut. Even though she loved the idea she knew that she needed something more stable so she brought her talants to wall street.

Debbie is now an advocate to young girls and women preaching about science and motivating them do persue their dreams

Her mathimatical skills allowed her to approach her job in her own way and she was very succsesful.

Pediatric Cardiologist

The contribution Tajchman has made to the world and her ommunity is clear. Becoming the first pediatric cardiologist in Central Oregon in 2002, she provided a new resource for the people of her community, treating those in need.

Children in need benefit from Tachjman and her work, as she works an extremely difficult job that can save countless lives. Cardiologists typically find themselves working with older patients, but Tachjman instead provides help for children experiencing heart diseases, benefiting an entirely new group of potential patients.

Tachjman and her willingness to put others forward drives her in her career. Her unique line of work has made her stand out. Motivated by the desrie to help others, Tachjman is a truly unique figure in the American health sphere.

It surprised me that Sara is given free range to conduct studies at MIT, while also being a Professor. I believe that she is driven by values of curiosity, and ambition. Her work has helped tremendously in the discovery of exoplanets, which allows us to gain a better understanding of the universe. She helps the scientific community greatly by developing methods to uncover information about different aspects of the composition of space. This benefits the population as a whole because understanding the universe will answer unknown questions about how it is expanding and more. Her background in physics and higher education probably aided her when developing her technologies, and in creating studies.

Experimental Particle Physicist @ CERN

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.
