From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Add perhaps a little information to 'Personal Life' section, for example his relationship with his family, i.e. especially with his older brother. Overall, very detail-oriented biography about Sacks.

Article selections

Possible articles: Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski, Hedy Lamarr, & Mae Jamison

Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski- She is a female Cuban-American physicist who is hailed as the "modern Einstein." She is definitely my top pick as I would like to do more research about her, as well as her mentors.

Hedy Lamarr-She was an actress and inventor of frequency-hopping technology that led to Wifi, GPS & Bluetooth.

Mae Carol Jemison-She is a black engineer, physician, & the first black female NASA astronaut.

*All are female scientists, Pasterski and Jemison are women of color, in the respective fields of physics, technology, and engineering, respectively.

As for modification to the articles, I would choose to increase all articles five-fold.

I would like to add more in every compartment, especially her personal life and the research she has done so far. Additionally, I want to reorganize her article better. Part of my struggle is the availability of trustworthy resources. Perhaps I can pull from the various interviews and magazines she has been in. I really want to look at the content , I want to clearly outline how her path got her to where she is.

As a sophomore at MIT, Pasterski was part of the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid ) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider.[1] CMS is a physics programmed detector that is built around a solenoid magnet, and used for a variety of physics-related matters. The Large Hadron Collider is the strongest particle accelerator to ever exist. She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree in high energy physics, the study of not only time and space, but matter and energy as well, and how all those variables coexist and affect one another. She is under the supervision of Andrew Strominger,[2], who has also made very significant contributions in the field of high energy physics, most notably, his discovery of Calami-Yau compactification, a theory of how extra six dimensions might be arranged in accordance with string theory. She received academic freedom from Strominger in the Spring of 2015[3] based upon Pasterski et al's 2014 discovery of "spin memory effect" which may be used to detect or verify the net effects of gravitational waves.[4] After being granted that academic freedom, she would complete the Pasterski–Strominger–Zhiboedov Triangle for electromagnetic memory in a 2015 solo paper[5] that Stephen Hawking cited in early 2016,[6] in a paper named "Soft Hair on Black Holes," which was also written with Strominger. In her newly proposed gravitational memory thesis, Pasterski and her colleagues consider light rays to measure spin memory. In the scientific literature, she deduces that angular-momentum-carrying radiation induces a time delay, that affect counterclockwise and clockwise orbits. Additionally, she proposed a formula that measured the delay relative to the angular momentum flux.

Maybe adding a section on how she stays in the community via website and youtube in media coverage? delete first sentence not really relevant and slightly confusing

focus on her work for young women in STEM

Pasterski’s 2016 work in promoting the Let Girls Learn initiative has been recognized by an invitation to the White House,[7] a congratulatory message from the White House played on network television,[8] as well as a two page spread in Marie Claire's January 2017 issue with former First Lady Michelle Obama.[9]

Pasterski's continuing efforts to promote science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education for girls in Cuba has been recognized by the Annenberg Foundation.[10][11]

Pasterski's 2017 work in promoting STEM education for girls in Russia has been recognized by the U.S Embassy in Moscow[12] and by the Moscow Polytech.[13]

International print and television coverage of Pasterski's work has appeared in Russian, Polish, Czech, Spanish, German, Hindi and French: Russia Today, Poland's Angora magazine, DNES magazine in the Czech Republic, People en Espanol, Jolie in Germany, Vanitha TV in India, Madame magazine in France, le Figaro magazine Paris, Femina magazine in Switzerland, and Marie Claire Espana.[14][15][16] In 2016, R&B singer Chris Brown posted a page with a video promoting her.[17] Forbes and The History Channel ran stories about Gonzalez Pasterski for their audiences in Mexico and Latin America, respectively.[18][19]

Pasterski has her own website called PhysicsGirl.com. Her website includes a multitude of universities that she has presented at, many of her physics publications and her academic achievements. She has a Youtube channel where she posts about a range of things, not only concerning her studies, but playing a role in the inspiration of young women in STEM fields.

Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski (born June 3, 1993) is an American theoretical physicist from Chicago, Illinois who studies high energy physics.[27] She describes herself as "a proud first-generation Cuban-American & Chicago Public Schools alumna."[21] She completed her undergraduate studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she earned a 5.00 GPA,[28] and is currently a graduate student at Harvard University. According to Google Trends, Pasterski was the #3 Trending Scientist for all of 2017.[29] In 2015, she was named to the Forbes 30 under 30 Science list, named a Forbes 30 under 30 All Star in 2017, and returned as a judge in 2018 as part of Forbes' first ever all-female Science category judging panel.[30]

Early life and education

[edit]

Pasterski was born in Chicago on June 3, 1993 to Mark Pasterski and Maria E Gonzalez. Her father, of German-Polish descent, an attorney and an electrical engineer, encouraged her to follow her dreams.[31] She enrolled at the Edison Regional Gifted Center in 1998, and graduated from the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in 2010.[32]

Pasterski holds an active interest in aviation. She took her first flying lesson in 2003, aged 10, co-piloted FAA1 at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh in 2005[33] and started building a kit aircraft by 2006.[34] Her first U.S. solo flight was in that kit aircraft in 2009 after being signed off by her CFI Jay Maynard.[35]

In her 2012 Scientific American 30 under 30 interview, Pasterski named among her scientific heroes Leon Lederman, Dudley Herschbach, and Freeman Dyson, and said she was drawn to physics by Jeff Bezos.[1] She has received job offers from Blue Origin, an aerospace company founded by Amazon.com's Jeff Bezos, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).[36]

Academia

[edit]

As a sophomore, Pasterski was part of the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider.[1] She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree in high energy physics under the supervision of Andrew Strominger.[2] She received academic freedom from Strominger in the Spring of 2015[3] based upon Pasterski et al's 2014 discovery of the "spin memory effect" which may be used to detect or verify the net effects of gravitational waves.[4] After being granted that academic freedom, she would complete the Pasterski–Strominger–Zhiboedov Triangle for electromagnetic memory in a 2015 solo paper[5] that Stephen Hawking cited in early 2016.[6]

Media coverage

[edit]

Hawking’s citation of Pasterski’s solo work on the PSZ Triangle was publicized by actor George Takei when he referenced her on his Twitter account with her quote, "'Hopefully I'm known for what I do and not what I don't do.' A poignant sentiment."[37] The Steven P. Jobs Trust article included in the tweet has been shared 1,200,000 times.[38]

Pasterski’s 2016 work in promoting the Let Girls Learn initiative has been recognized by an invitation to the White House,[7] a congratulatory message from the White House played on network television,[8] as well as a two page spread in Marie Claire's January 2017 issue with former First Lady Michelle Obama.[9]
