Corry L. Lee
Corry L. Lee completed a Ph.D. in experimental particle physics at Harvard University in April 2010. Her work on the BaBar experiment will help explain why the universe is composed predominately out of matter (where did all the antimatter go?). Corry also writes science fiction and fantasy, and is a 2009 graduate of Odyssey, the Fantasy Writing Workshop. She's currently working on a Steampunk novel. Now that she's finished her Ph.D., you're likely to find Corry writing, rock climbing, learning to ride the unicycle, sipping espresso, or getting dolled up for a night at the opera. She lives in Seattle, WA with her husband, and misses the Colorado sunshine of her youth.

An Introduction to Particle Accelerators
With recent excitement about the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, particle physics has gotten a lot of press. But how do particle accelerators work? What do they accelerate and what can we learn from their collisions? Hear a Ph.D. physicist teach the basics of accelerator technology (no physics background required!) and answer your questions about the massive machines used to study the smallest stuff in nature. |

Applied Quantum Mechanics: The Ultimate Mind Trip
Quantum mechanics has always been a mind trip. Particles altering their behavior based on what other particles will do. Particles that are in multiple places at once or that can suddenly tunnel through a barrier and appear elsewhere. But the trip can get even stranger as we apply this knowledge. Quantum mechanics is no longer just about the subatomic universe. |
