The theme for 2022 is “finding joy in the diverse Black community” and Lumea fizicii - impreuna cu Fizica astăzi – is publishing a serie de eseuri by Black physicists on this topic. In this podcast, two essayists, Joyful Mdhluli of South Africa’s University of the Witwatersrand and Larissa Palethorpe of the University of Edinburgh in the UK, talk about finding joy while doing their PhDs.
