“He Got Promoted” is a conversation with a former physics major, who now works in data science. We talk about how her general discomfort in the physics department and key instances of discouragement led her to drop the major, opting for a degree in math instead. We then turn to her post-graduate career in banking and data analytics, and how gendered experiences manifest in sexual harassment, promotion, and pay.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Voices in Physics is a series of interviews with physicists. In each episode we’ll discuss the culture in physics and how it affects them. We’ll be exploring what inspired them to pursue careers in physics, what discouraged them, and who they turned to for support. The people I spoke to are from a diverse range of backgrounds and at different stages of their careers, from undergraduates to tenured professors.Conversations like these happen all the time but are rarely heard by the people with the power to change things. So, if you’re a member of the physics or wider STEM community, I hope that as you listen to their stories, you’ll consider how we can help change the culture in physics for the better.
