A New Project

---

Alright, so I slacked off on the blogging when I got back from Alaska. But there's a good reason for that: I have decided on a new career path.

As fun as it was sitting alone in a windowless cubicle all day, I am now attempting a transition from Science Researcher to Science Reporter. Ok, so it's a little unrealistic, but whatever -- quizzing people about their work is WAY easier than doing work -- clearly the right job for me.

To kick off my new career, I convinced KZSU Stanford radio that if I made some crazy science shows, they should air them as part of their news program. I explained that I needed some audio equipment, and four weeks later... lo and behold, I actually made a show!

This show aired this Tuesday at KZSU 90.1fm in the Stanford area. It's about the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory: how particle accelerators work, what physicists study there, and how SLAC has transformed itself into a giant x-ray laser. Have a listen! It's 14 minutes long, and you're not a true nerd if the words "giant x-ray laser" don't have you dying to hit the play button.



Honest feedback is more than welcome -- it keeps me encouraged, learning, and sets me up to make better shows in the future. Any comments/suggestions are super appreciated. :)  ¶ 10:39 PM
