In this episode I talk to Ellen Rumley a senior at Willamette, who provides her perspective on being a woman in the field of physics. We also talk about her experience with aerial dance, her research on the motion of myosin proteins to help discover how their mutations can lead to heart disease, and her knowledge on applications of soft robotics to aide with disaster relief.
