I am an experimental nuclear physicist at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse, and I also love traveling and playing fetch with my dog. I work on the vibrations (structure) of rare-earth nuclei. The other area is on the intersection of nuclear science and society. Analysis is a big puzzle to solve, which I love. The nuclear community is a very welcoming and supportive community and that is why I chose this field. I am the chair of the writing committee on workforce development and DEI. https://www.uwlax.edu/profile/slesher/ My Journey as a Physicist is brought to you by PhD student Bryan Stanley (he/him/his) and Prof. Huey-Wen Lin (she/her).
