Nuclear physics. Should be finishing up in about a year or so

2018-12-11 22:46:39 UTC  

😐 dang. Do you plan on working in nuclear energy?

2018-12-11 22:48:09 UTC  

I’m not sure yet. My focus during grad school has been nuclear astrophysics but I’m not super committed to staying in the field. It’s ridiculously competitive

2018-12-11 22:48:46 UTC  

I’d imagine so. Few jobs in that field probably.

2018-12-11 22:49:31 UTC  

Well there’s a good amount of overlap with the weapons program but I’d say most of the jobs are either national labs or academia

2018-12-11 22:50:12 UTC  

> weapons program

2018-12-11 22:50:26 UTC  

Let’s get one of /ourguys/ in there

2018-12-11 22:50:37 UTC  

Come on amlam I’m pulling for ya

2018-12-11 22:51:13 UTC  

Nuclear energy needs to be saved too. The environmentalists have done everything they can to kill it.

2018-12-11 22:53:08 UTC  

Strasburg shooting identified as a "extremist" hmmmmmm I wonder what kind of extremist it will turn out to be?????

2018-12-11 22:53:48 UTC  

Extreme pacifist from the religion of peace

2018-12-11 22:53:56 UTC  

Just wanted to spread the peace of death m8

2018-12-11 22:54:18 UTC  

Far right. Very far right. The farthest right.

2018-12-11 22:54:43 UTC  

soooo far right probably located in Syria

2018-12-11 22:54:58 UTC  

Far Right from Mecca.

2018-12-11 22:55:03 UTC  

🕋

2018-12-11 22:55:15 UTC  

Ask Gary Johnson

2018-12-11 22:55:23 UTC  

He is great at geography

2018-12-11 22:55:37 UTC  

Hold your tongue and say Aleppo

2018-12-11 22:56:03 UTC  

So far right

2018-12-11 22:56:05 UTC  

I would love to work in either nuclear energy or the weapons program. But I’m also considering going into finance or some other private industry

2018-12-11 22:57:14 UTC  

@amlam ok. Fair enough. I’d like to discuss nuclear physics with you sometime. The units really confuse me and I want to be sure I’m understanding it right.

2018-12-11 22:57:23 UTC  

All that Russian. 😐

2018-12-11 22:57:36 UTC  

Collusion

2018-12-11 22:57:42 UTC  

What Russian do you need to know to do physics?

2018-12-11 22:58:06 UTC  

The units all have crazy Russian sounding names.

2018-12-11 22:58:23 UTC  

Oh do you mean Weisskopf units?

2018-12-11 22:58:41 UTC  

I’m not gonna be much help. I’ve kinda forgotten stuff like that

2018-12-11 22:58:41 UTC  

Berqueles

2018-12-11 22:58:53 UTC  

Sievert

2018-12-11 22:59:03 UTC  

Weisskopf

2018-12-11 22:59:05 UTC  

White head

2018-12-11 22:59:09 UTC  

Lmao Germans

2018-12-11 22:59:23 UTC  

One of their names is a pimple

2018-12-11 22:59:34 UTC  

Come to think of it Schwarzkopf is a name too

2018-12-11 22:59:37 UTC  

Meaning black head

2018-12-11 22:59:39 UTC  

Lmfao

2018-12-11 22:59:42 UTC  

Pimples

2018-12-11 23:00:04 UTC  

Oh you’re just talking about units of radiation. I’d have to read up on them again. I typically don’t talk about intensities of radioactive decay like that. We measure nuclear reaction rates and cross sections more than measure radioactivity typically

2018-12-11 23:02:03 UTC  

Oh. Ok.

2018-12-11 23:58:54 UTC  

@amlam I’m in weapons (sorta) if you’re interested.
