Listen "SotF 2016: Physics Fan Fiction"
Episode Synopsis
What do theoretical physicists do all day? It's a funny story actually… Apocalypses and politics go hand in hand as University of Oxford physicist Fran Day takes a break from studying particles that probably don't exist to take to the stage in a stand-up comedy spectacular that is witty, irreverent and occasionally surreal. Fran gets stuck in to how physicists are searching for new particles at the Large Hadron Collider and why it's a good idea to study made up particles, with plenty of jokes along the way. Fran Day is a PhD student in theoretical physics at the University of Oxford. She is searching for hints of new particles by looking at the light from galaxies and galaxy clusters. Fran is a science comedian, using comedy to tackle topics ranging from quantum field theory to women in science. Twitter: @FrancescaDayWeb: https://physicsfran.wordpress.com/
