PandA EDI spotlight interview - Vinooja Thurairethinam (Astrophysicist)

The PandA (Physics and Astronomy) EDI team are proud to announce the release of the first episode in a new video interview series, spotlighting underrepresented individuals in the department. This series of four interviews focuses on the stories and experiences of ordinary PhD students, in their journeys into academia and their exploits outside of physics. We believe these videos offer something to a wide audience, from secondary school students to senior members of academic staff. We also hope that these shared experiences help to dispel illusions of the academic elite and highlight that our departments are made up of relatable, ordinary people doing extraordinary things. 

You can find episodes 1 and 2 of the first interview on the P&A YouTube channel with a new episode released every Friday. 

This project was made possible by the 2nd MAPS Take Bold Action for Inclusion funding call and the 2021 Astrophysics Group Grant call.
