You Have a Cool Job: Atmospheric Scientist

You Have a Cool Job is a podcast hosted by Taylor Sienkiewicz from Peterson’s. The show highlights professionals who have a unique, interesting, uncommon, or otherwise cool job.

Our goal is to motivate you and show how interesting, fulfilling, and anything-but-average your career can be, and we’ll do this by talking with people who took a path less traveled. We ask these fascinating individuals how they got to where they are in their career based on their education, experience, and influences; why they love their job; and lots more.

On this episode of You Have a Cool Job, we talk to Luxi Zhou, an atmospheric scientist. She describes her role working on air quality modeling at the United States Environmental Protection Agency. We talk about the broad scope of atmospheric science and what types of roles you may have as a scientist in the field. Zhou tells us what she did to get where she is, including her education, professional background, and unique data collection experiences. Zhou gives advice to students and aspiring scientists, and explains what she enjoys about her job.

Sorry, I had to give up watching at around 2:55 because Luxi's voice isn't coming out clear, unlike the interviewer's voice. It's a shame I had to stop listening as I sought videos on Atmospheric Science and didn't land here by chance.
