Hi Darling! 
Ali and I connect over lasers, lacrosse, LIGO and nationalizing the railways. 
Despite meeting at university in the UK, we are now both working in California and have been working on some projects together for LIGO - the gravitational wave detectors in America. In this conversation we reminisce on some fun times (and some interesting interactions), explain what it's like to work in academia and discuss our journeys to where we are now.

Hi Darling! 
Welcome to the podcast! Thank you so much for listening.
Today I introduce myself, the podcast, why I've started it and what I hope to achieve with it. I will also tell my 'physics origin story' - how I got into physics and the start of my journey so far.
