A good old natter with Alex about PhDs, physics and life in general!
I'm hoping to make this segment a regular thing, interviewing people from STEM backgrounds, finding out about their experiences and stories.
The aim of this, and the channel in general is to answer questions I have as a student and hopeful future researcher, to breakdown some barriers and shatter some misconceptions about a career in STEM.
Please feel free to ask any questions or offer any feedback in the comments below.
Enjoy!

About Me
I'm Hannah, a 29 year old student studying on the Foundation Engineering and Physical Sciences degree at the University of Nottingham.
For a long time, I've wanted to retrain as a physicist. Even while I was doing my first degree in 2008, it was something I had started thinking about more and more. Last September, I decided to throw caution to the wind in order to follow my passion.
Before I took the first step, I spent many years trying to find stories of people who had made similar changes, but there wasn't all that much to go on. I had so many questions that I couldn't find answers to, so I decided that when I began studying I would make videos to try and answer some of those questions. So that's what I'm doing! Oh and it can't hurt to brush up on my speaking and presenting skills while I'm at it.
