KSTAR? Are you in Korea, then?

What are your duties there?

washing up for the male scientist 😉 :p:p:p

It is the other way around. They wash up for female scientists.

Pretty good. Strasburg is beautiful. We went out almost every night. Happy week there. I’ve been super busy since I came back and I forgot this website. Haha.

DPF is dense plama focus and it's also OK if you never hear of that–lot of mainline people have not even though it has been around for 50 years. I invite you to look at somee of the description of our work on the main Focus Fusion Society Website. First impressions would be very interssting!

Yes. I heard about it and don’t know much. I will try to learn more about it.

Maybe a bit [em]too[/em] welcome. ;-P

For my part I’d say anyone is welcome here—especially female plasma physicists! And I say that as one who is neither a female nor, alas, a plasma physicist. We could always use more scientists here as well as more females. (We do have at least one confirmed female already, Rezwan, who pretty much runs the place.) Heck, we could just use more [em]people[/em]. (Yes, everyone, I know I’ve been a bit absent lately. :red:)

Funny that you’re in Korea right now. I’m seriously considering going there for work soon. (No, not to KSTAR. I’m not a scientist.)

Welcome to Korea. You will like here. There are so many cute girls. This is why I am seriously considering leaving. LOL

I went to Dense Z Pinch and other than ICOPS going to PLASMA 2011 is Warsaw than back to Chciago in Nov. for the APS. So you are doing mostly data analysis or modeling or what? What do you think of our DPF work?

I analyze the data. What is “DPF”? I am not as smart as other female scientists.

Thanks. I am feeling very good as a plasma physicist. Actually, all we need to do is spreading the fact that how well female scientists are treated in fusion area and how many charming boys in our area, then gilrs will swarm into fusion.
I attended ICOPS two years in San diego.
I have many trips in the next few months: next week, EPS in France and then I will go to Holland (FOM) in Sep and stay there till the ITPA transport workshop in Oct 5th in France, then I will also attend H-mode conference in Oxford, I will also probably visit C-MOD this fall.
will u go to any of those places? Hehe

Lerner wrote: Hi Sunny,

You are indded welcome here! The lack of female plasma physicists is a big problem for the field and it seems a bit worse than for all of phjysics, which is bad anyway. In fact, when we have meetings about FF, the audience is overwhelingly male. What do you think can be done to make the idea and the field more welcoming to women?
BTW I am goign to ICOPS, not EPS so will not see you there.

Looks like you are also working on Tokamak. I used to work on ECE when I were in China. But now I am focusing on transport study by using other people’s dignostics. So I am just a parasite here in Korea.
So where are you? And what are you responsible for?
