. I have to add that it is not the most embarassing book I have read in the folly of my youth... 
...that book won't be mentioned here...I have always been fascinated by how the physical world works and the laws that govern it. In high school, I took a physics class and was immediately drawn to the subject. From then on, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in physics and contribute to our understanding of the universe.
My advice would be to never stop asking questions and to always challenge yourself. Physics is a constantly evolving field, so it's important to stay curious and keep learning. Also, don't be afraid to make mistakes and learn from them. It's all part of the scientific process.
Research in physics can be challenging and it's easy to get discouraged. To stay motivated, I remind myself of the bigger picture and the impact my research can have on our understanding of the world. I also surround myself with a supportive and collaborative team, which helps to overcome challenges together.
One of the most exciting moments in my career was when I was part of a team that discovered a new subatomic particle. It was a huge breakthrough in our understanding of particle physics and it was incredibly rewarding to be a part of such a groundbreaking discovery.
I hope to see continued advancements and breakthroughs in our understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe. I also hope to see more diversity and inclusivity in the field, as different perspectives and backgrounds can lead to new and innovative ideas. Additionally, I hope that physics can continue to be accessible and inspire future generations of scientists.
