Hi everybody, this is Sophia from Birmingham!

Hi everybody,

this is Sophia from Birmingham! Let me introduce myself in this weird and lonely time:

I was born in Oregon, in the United States. I've received my BS in Physics from the California Institute of Technology in 2003 and a PhD in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2010. From 2009 to 2011 I was a postdoctoral researcher at Northwestern University, and from 2011 to 2013, I was a CIERA fellow at Northwestern’s Center for Interdisciplinary Exploration and Research in Astrophysics. I came to Birmingham in 2013. This is my first job outside the US as a lecturer here. And I'm enjoying stargazing from the United Kingdom. My father is French and my mother American.

I would like to meet interested people and scientist from this forum!

As an astronomy geek and absolute stargazer, I hope this community forum will welcome me!

cheers

Sophia

Hi Sophia, and welcome.


I think I need to find a biologist to test this -
A biologist, a physicist and a chemist visit the beach...

Three scientists visit the beach, a biologist, a physicist and a chemist.
The biologist is so amazed at the marine life that they walk into the ocean never to be seen again.
The physicist is so amazed by fluid dynamics that they walk into the ocean, never to be seen again.
The chemist looks at the ocean, picks up a stick and writes a simple observation in the sand. "Biologists and physicists are soluble in water."


(Stolen from Reddit)





have fun


Philip

Welcome to IIS
Glad to have a fellow astronomer join us from the northern hemisphere in particular the UK
You also have your own forum in the UK as well ( Stargazers Lounge ) but looking at your credentials you probably want to learn more about our southern skies
Welcome again
Cheers
