So glad to be featured in this episode of @insideqm! Thanks to @PhysicsSteve and team for the opportunity to share my experience and discuss issues, such as challenges faced by early-career scientists, that are very close to my heart ❤️.
It's almost time for another new episode of insideQuantum! Look out for Season 2, Episode 5 on Monday 29th May, featuring Dr Yvonne Gao (@YvonneYGao) telling us all about superconducting qubits and the amazing work of the @qcrew_sg team. Available on all major podcast apps!

These scientific illustrations from @Ella_Maru studio are so magnificent! 😍They go a long way in communicating science more effectively and help us scientists better engage with the public. I'm so amazed (&very envious) of the artistic & technical prowess that went into them.
Think Your PhD in Science Limits You to a Lab? Below I described 7 Creative Career Paths for PhDs and I personally know someone working in each category after graduation! Completing a PhD in science is no small feat. It takes years of dedication and hard work to achieve this level of education, and many people who reach this milestone assume that the only career path available to them is to become a scientist. While a career in science may be a natural fit for those with a PhD in the field, there are also many other career paths available that utilize the skills and expertise gained during the PhD program. One area in which people with a PhD in science can find a career is in the creative fields. The skills gained during a PhD program, such as critical thinking, problem solving, and attention to detail, are highly valued in many creative fields. Below are some examples of creative careers that people with a PhD in science might consider: Science writer: Science writers are responsible for translating complex scientific concepts into accessible language that can be understood by a general audience. A PhD in science provides a solid foundation for a career in science writing, as it allows for a deep understanding of the subject matter. Science illustrator: Science illustrators create visual representations of scientific concepts and phenomena. A PhD in science provides a strong foundation in scientific knowledge and can help with the accuracy and detail required in scientific illustrations. Data visualization specialist: Data visualization specialists create visual representations of complex data sets, making the information more accessible and easier to understand. A PhD in science can provide the technical and analytical skills needed to excel in this field. Science filmmaker: Science filmmakers create documentaries and other videos that explore scientific concepts and phenomena. A PhD in science can provide a deep understanding of the subject matter, making it easier to create accurate and engaging content. Science communicator: Science communicators work to make science more accessible and engaging to the public. A PhD in science provides a strong foundation in scientific knowledge and can help with the development of clear and effective messaging. Patent attorney: Patent attorneys help inventors protect their intellectual property by filing and defending patents. A PhD in science provides a deep understanding of the subject matter and can be a valuable asset in this field. Science editor: Science editors work to ensure that scientific manuscripts are accurate, clear, and well-written. A PhD in science provides a strong foundation in scientific knowledge and can help with the technical aspects of editing scientific manuscripts. These are just a few examples of the many creative careers available to people with a PhD in science. #sciart #phdchat #phdlife #Career

Our first paper @qcrew_sg @quantumlah is officially out on @prx !🥳 My team has worked incredibly hard in the past three years to set up every nuts and bolts with me in the lab to make this happen. I am so proud of what we managed to achieve together!

So thrilled to chair the first Bosonic QEC session! Amazing progress on using the large Hilbert space of cavities to efficiently encode & process quantum info. Great turnout & a clear signal that we also need to expand the physical space for our growing field at #APSMarchMeeting!

Tell me you are in Murica without telling me you are here. - I know the waiter by name & she has checked on me nicely twice in the past hour.🙃 Seriously though, I'm so excited to be back at the March meeting. To top that off, @qcrew_sg has our very first exp. results to share!

So instead of questioning our interest or abilities, isn't it more constructive to focus on removing these systematic & deeply-rooted barriers? It will take intentional efforts from everyone to make the scientific environment actually worthy for women to devote time & efforts to.
