I have just finished writing my PhD thesis. In the past this was something I thought was super hard to achieve
WHY DO YOU LOVE WORKING IN STEM?
I am lucky to live in a time where there are massive spectroscopic surveys studying the stars in our Galaxy. I look forward every day to analyze this data and discover what it has to show us
