'Now, not everyone thinks physics is fun, but I do.” Donna Strickland, Nobel Prize in Physics 2018

“When I was in grad school working on the project for which Gerard and I are being honoured, Cyndi Lauper had a big hit: Girls Just Want to Have Fun. But they wanted to wait until the working day is done. As for me, I want to have fun while I’m working. Now not everyone thinks physics is fun, but I do.”

Nobel Prize banquet speech by Donna Strickland, awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics together with Arthur Ashkin and Gérard Mourou.

Becoming a physicist was my goal in 1966. That didn't materialize as I planned. This makes me just as happy. Congrats.

Most subjects are a matter of perspective . Feynman was famous for saying everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough

Oh physics is fun alright.

I wonder who says otherwise.

[MontaGao]

Had the honor of taking an intro physics class taught by her at Waterloo... Hard class but amazing person.

I don't know but, I feel like female physicists are way cooler and smoother than male physicists.
