[Cnqo] Reminder: Seminar today at 3pm

[Paul Griffin]

Morning all,

a late reminder about today's seminar by the SUPA Distinguished Visitor, Deborah Kane.


Date: TODAY! (Wednesday, 4th June)
Time: 3 pm
Location: SUPA Room, JA8.13
Speaker: Prof Deborah Kane, Macquarie University, Sydney
Title: "Physversity"
Abstract:
As an “individual” research career the presenter’s has traversed fundamental, strategic and applied research. This aspect of physics diversity is identified as an important topic for thought and action in professional and career development. The capability to approach any research topic from any of these perspectives can be a relative advantage. The capability to travel between them is worth building. The capability to see how one’s own set of expertise and ignorance can become over-constraining to the potential detriment of making a more optimal contribution to science and the community is discussed. The important aspiration to be a person who gets to do a fair amount of things they want to do rather than a lot of things they’re told to do is embedded in this discussion. The topics for reflection are illustrated with specific research activities in photonics; lasers & lamps, and their applications.
