How and when did you choose to do physics?

“I wanted to be an astronaut when I was 5 years old because I was so fascinated with space. I then chose to study physics (and not philosophy, in the end) in my last year of high school, because of the awe I felt when looking at the night sky and thinking about what was ‘out there’ in the universe. This motivated me to challenge myself by studying something I did not know much about.”

🇲🇽 Mexico’s President Claudia argues that if cartels are terrorists, then those supplying their weapons—over 74% of which come from the U.S.—should be held accountable for aiding terrorism.

What would you recommend to young women wanting to start a physics career?

“If you're a young woman interested in physics, believe in yourself and don't be afraid to ask questions or get help. Get a strong foundation in math and computers. These are important in the field. Surround yourself with people who support you and remember that your perspective is unique and needed in physics.”

What is your vision for women and girls in science in 20 years?

“In 20 years, I strongly believe that the female community in science will be more represented. Nowadays, society is already exposing young girls to STEM fields more than it did in the past, for instance, through toys and cartoons. Moreover, for the older girls, the increasing visibility of female scientists as role models is inspiring and necessary to imagine themselves in the same positions.”

The SETI Institute's research is #notjustaliens. Meet Dr. Uma Gorti, who joined the SETI Institute's Carl Sagan Center in 2008 as a Principal Investigator and is mainly interested in star and planet formation. Such studies will help us understand the conditions under which planets form, the likelihood of planet formation, and hence, the potential for life in different star-forming environments.

What would you recommend to young women wanting to start a physics career?

“My message to all interested young women out there is: Please come forward and participate, it looks scary and is actually challenging. But most experiences that thrill come with challenges and overcoming them is victorious. There is a lot more to explore and is unanswered, join the task force and pave a way to opening new windows, not only in physics but in science overall.”
