This week, we hear from Cristhian González Ortiz. Cristhian is a second-year physics grad student at MSU working on the first design of a storage ring, as an upgrade to FRIB (Facility for Rare Isotope Beams). They are looking at how this addition would further enhance the  capacity of FRIB to perform nuclear experiments.
Listen to Cristhian's many journeys, which include moving to Michigan from Colombia, getting involved with Comunidad Latinoamericana and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, pursuing physics and mechanical engineering, and finding a good work-life balance. Cristhian and Bryan talk about social events outside of physics, hobbies, and how not all physicists are bad at sports!
In this episode, Cristhian talks about his involvement with the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) and  Comunidad Latinoamericana (CLA).
