Physics - on topic this time

[Norm Buchanan]

After a thread on the use of tax money to support physics I thought I'd get back on topic. I am currently working on a project where I am photographing women physicists.

If anyone knows a female physicist who would be interested in being photographed for my project please let me know! I'll be in the Chicago area until February or March and then moving to Ft Collins Colorado.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Warning - the photos are a mix of digital, large and medium formats so it isn't technically an entirely large format post - sorry ;)

Excellent work. Mix is good, nothing negative about that, you have a terrific project going on.

In Massachusetts, there's a group called "Women in Science". They do educational programs for high school students showing what women can do in science. I don't know if it's a national group or not? You might be able to find a female physicist through them, though. I know the ones in MA had a list of people to call upon for their career days and such (I was a forensic chemist on the list along with others).
Great project, btw.

Nice images. But what are they working on? I miss for one a short indication such as "Jane Doe: quark - lepton interaction in low temperature plasma" or what have you. And how about a link to their web pages?

Go to charlierose.com and look up Lisa Randall. She would be a great subject to photograph. I have no idea if she would pose for you, I have never met her.

I can ask my Aunt. She works with various space program projects at L-M in Denver. Unfortunately, she was just in a skiing accident yesterday and hurt her knee pretty bad. But after a few days I'll ask her.
