This week’s update has to do with three mountains, two natural and one metaphorical.

Week 3: Appreciating the Pedantic

Week two was super busy! Brad and I finalized the image for the 2020-21 SOCK. Later in the week Brad was having camera issues and was feeling a bit blue.... I also finished a demo provided by the National Council Physics is Phun Committee!

I am literally sweating after week #1. This week I worked a lot with my mentor, Brad Conrad, on mapping out the summer for the 2020-21 SOCK, demos, and even jeopardy.

Week 1: A Science Writing Crash Course

Samantha Creech

On the first morning of my internship with Physics Today, I sat at the desk in my Asheville apartment with nervous hands clasped in my lap. The chaos of the coronavirus pandemic had forced a complete reimagining of summer programs.
