Career in research about antimatter

AI Thread Summary
To pursue a career in antimatter research, focusing on a physics major in college is essential. High school students should prioritize a strong college preparatory curriculum, emphasizing mathematics, physics, and chemistry, as these subjects build foundational skills for future studies. Additionally, developing writing and speaking skills is crucial, as they are often overlooked but important for effective communication in scientific fields. For more guidance, resources like ZapperZ's thread on becoming a physicist can provide valuable insights.

Um, major in physics when you get to college? Seriously there's not much you can do when you're in high school except perhaps studying introductory college physics in advance.

Hey that's great to hear! ZapperZ has a thread ("So You Want To Be A Physicist") - you can probably find some good general advice there.

Physics major would be the way to go for that. In the mean time - take a strong college prep load. Big focus on math, take physics if it's offered, other sciences and especially chemistry can help you develop good skills and ways of thinking that will help you have an easier time later. Writing and speaking skills are very important and often overlooked.
