The latest episode of Physics World Weekly has a focus on careers in physics. Our first guest is Alex Petkov, a PhD candidate who is doing a 6-week work placement with Physics World magazine. Petkov speaks about the unconventional route to a PhD he has embarked upon, which provides him with more time to develop his academic interests. Later in the show, we are joined by two members of the Society for Radiological Protection – current president Amber Bannon and president elect Peter Bryant. Bannon and Bryant were visiting Physics World’s HQ at IOP Publishing to celebrate 30 years of co-publishing the Journal of Radiological Protection (one of our colleagues even baked a cake – see the episode image). They speak about the wide variety of careers in radiological protection and the skills required.
