A day in the life
Several Quantum Diarists accepted the challenge to participate in the World-Wide
Day in Science by blogging about their activities on April 15. Their
diaries confirm that there's no such thing as a typical day in the life of
a physicist.
Gordon Watts had the worst day by far. He suffered
through travel and meetings, while waiting for his tax return to be
accepted by the IRS.
Peter Steinberg, on the other hand, is in the running for the best day,
though he also used this
last opportunity to file his tax return. After attending a morning
meeting, he enjoyed eating out, playing with his niece, walking around
Manhattan, and attending a friend's art opening.
Sarah Phillips spent the day planning
for the Jefferson Lab Open House, where she would speak about her
experiment and being a young researcher.
Finally, if you read Japanese, check out Shohei
Nishida's day of meetings, food, and computer problems. |
