The gist of my job is to take the really complicated nuclear physics research being done at the lab and make it understandable and interesting to folks like my Mother who struggled with algebra in high school. This entails many different mediums and projects including managing the website, creating brochures, managing social network accounts, creating videos, pitching stories to the media and helping give tours around the lab. I chose science communication as a job – and love the one I’m in – because I get to learn something cool every single day. I landed in Lansing because I want to work with scientists at the leading edge of their field and NSCL is the premier facility for nuclear physics research in North America.
