In this episode we talk to Harry Cliff, a Physicist at CERN and Author of How to Make an Apple Pie From Scratch.

What we cover:

• What its like working at CERN
• What does it take to become a "Physicist" and what is the typical route to becoming one
• Job prospects for a science graduate - working in Academia and Research vs a job in a bank or programming etc.
• Harry's best advice for students who love Science.

Not only is Harry one of the nicest humans on the planet, and his YouTube videos have gained millions of views, but he's also super knowledgable about options and gives us a fantastic insight to becoming a Physicist.

One of the key take aways in this is the options and job prospects you have after completing a science based degree or even a PhD. He even comments on what he was like at school and offers his best advice for students who are considering doing a Science degree. It's all very helpful and a lovely listen.

Enjoy!
