"Find something you like doing, and go for it" - Dr Charlotte Waterfall
Dr Charlotte Waterfall is an astrophysicist specialising in Heliophysics and Space Weather. She is currently working as a postdoctoral researcher following the completion of her PhD work on flaring young stars. She is better known as Space_Waterfall on TikTok where she makes educational content around her career, the latest activity from the Sun, and wider Astrophysics topics.
In this conversation we do a deep dive into all the topics Dr Waterfall makes TikToks about. We start off with all things heliophysics including solar flares, magnetic storms, and their associated risks for our planet. Our conversation then shifts into talking about Dr Waterfall's academic path in physics, the culture of academia and women in STEM. This was a super fun episode that everyone can get something out of, particularly those between GCSE all the way up to first year undergrad who are curios about a career in physics. Without further ado, here is Dr Waterfall.
