F28.00002: When your protagonist is a Hamiltonian: A career in physics writing and editing Invited Speaker: Jessica Thomas Physics (physics.aps.org) is the online magazine for the Physical Review journals. We write and edit articles about top papers from the journals; we also work on news features, Q&As, and a variety of stories related to physics research and its influences. This talk is aimed at anyone who wants to learn more about a career in science writing and editing. Using a few examples of recent Physics articles, I’ll give you an inside look at what we do and where we get our ideas. I’ll also explain how the members of our team broke into this line of work and the skills we seek when hiring. |

F28.00003: From the Study of Physics to Entrepreneurship Invited Speaker: Jeramy Hughes Sit back as I take you on a journey that starts with working in the labs of Nobel Laureates and continues with founding FieldLine, a company that is creating world changing medical technologies. There will be plenty of failure, restarts, and advice for success as you learn how you can make the most of your opportunities. |

F28.00004: Navigating a National Lab Career Invited Speaker: John Sarrao The Department of Energy’s seventeen National Laboratories provide a career path that’s in between academia and industry. And the National Labs are hiring, with a number of Labs having hiring needs that are greater than 1000 staff/year. Nevertheless, the National Labs are relatively unknown to many students (and faculty) in academia. In this presentation, an overview of the Department of Energy National Laboratories is provided as well as a description of possible trajectories that span from graduate student for the duration of one’s career (as in the case of the speaker) to a variety of short-term internships, post-doc appointments, and staff positions. |
