    Physics Is undergrad research REALLY that big on grad school applications?

    Man. I’m a little naive on the subject, and your insights help me relax some. Thanks! Plus I found out that there aren’t any undergraduate opportunities in biophysics at my university right now anyways (Both professors already have 4 undergrads). I suppose that’s information I can include in...

    Physics Is undergrad research REALLY that big on grad school applications?

    So I’m a junior at FSU and I have to apply to grad schools next year. I’ve done EPR condensed matter research with Steven hill at MagLab during my sophomore year. I am currently doing experimental nuclear research with Ingo Weidenhover, and my bachelors thesis will be on measuring J values for...

    Physics [Nuclear Experiment vs Nuclear Theory] [National Lab/General Outlook]

    Thank you. I realize my question was super general, but you managed to give me advice that’s very specific. I’m going to bring this concern to build a plan with me to my next meeting with my academic advisor:) It also makes me lean toward experimental research in every way. Thanks again!

    Physics [Nuclear Experiment vs Nuclear Theory] [National Lab/General Outlook]

    I apologize, I think I have missed a basic rule here. I chose the Brazil flag because that’s where my family is from and my first language. I was born in the USA, I’ll change my flag.

    Physics [Nuclear Experiment vs Nuclear Theory] [National Lab/General Outlook]

    I think you’ve misinterpreted me here. I’m not asking you to predict anything, the question was asking those who have been in the field what their experience has been. Anecdotal experience is the extent of my question, sorry for not being clear before. Not being sarcastic here. You mentioned...

    Physics [Nuclear Experiment vs Nuclear Theory] [National Lab/General Outlook]

    Let’s assume that I’m obsessed- Er… “formidable” in whichever field I choose. You’re saying Nuclear physicists don’t skew towards either experimental or theoretical in a US national lab? If there is no skew, then I see why you mentioned that there’s no way to tell. As I type this I realize...

    Physics [Nuclear Experiment vs Nuclear Theory] [National Lab/General Outlook]

    Hello all, I have a question for those with knowledge of Nuclear Physics career outlook. I am at a point where I need to decide soon. I know I want to go to grad school, I know I want to study Nuclear Physics, but I'm a little torn between which method of study to undergo. I would not mind...
