NSCL's June 7 symposium on careers attracted more than 100 attendees, including several dozen alums from around the country. NSCL asked a few of these alums to reflect on their education at MSU and the subsequent trajectory of their careers. Here are just a few of the excerpts from those conversations.

"The main focus of the paper is on using the (³He, t) reaction to study the spin-isospin response of nuclei," says Remco Zegers, NSCL assistant professor, of his research appearing in the Nov. 16 issue of Physical Review Letters. "With this reaction we can get about 20 KeV to 30 KeV resolution; that's very detailed information." Zegers describes his research, done in collaboration with scientists in Japan, Germany, France and the Netherlands, in this 12-minute audio interview.
