This episode is also available in video format on our YouTube channel - check it out! Today’s format is a little different to our usual episodes, as we’ve invited four Cavendish alumni for a panel discussion about all things physics and career development. They’ll tell us about what they learnt at the Cavendish, their natural sciences and physics background, as well as their doctoral research in physics, shaped their careers and brought them to where they are today. We’re joined by Aswathy Girija, commissioning editor at the Institute of Physics, Professor Kerstin Göpfrich, group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research, Joanne Baker, author of four popular science books and editor at Nature Opinion, and Emma Williams, professional development coach and careers expert who has a wealth of insight into not just her own journey, but those she mentors. We hope that this conversation will give you valuable insights into the many paths and opportunities for people doing physics.Useful linksLearn more about Kerstin Göpfrich's research at the Max Plank Institute for Medical ResearchYou might also want to check out IOP Publishing and its portfolio of scientific journalsJoanne Baker's is the author of '50 physics ideas you really need to know', and many more.
