If you’re reading this blog, there is a high probability
that you will encounter a physicist at some point in your life.
Here’s a roadmap to surviving this conversation.
Introduction: If
you’re like 99% of the population, you’ll have one of the following two reactions
upon meeting a physicist: “Oh, I loved physics in high school!” or “Oh, I hated
physics in high school!”
Guess what? We don’t care. Feel free to keep this thought
inside your own head.
Note: If you choose to exit at this point, please try to
leave politely. Wrong strategy: just walking away (it’s happened).We already
have enough rejection in our lives (grants, papers, dating, etc).
