Natural-born problem solvers
Michael de Laine · Physics World · 2000
Physicists pursue a remarkable range of careers across all sectors of the economy, from teaching to international finance, and those who can combine their problem-solving abilities with interpersonal skills are in great demand. Indeed, physicists who spend their working lives carrying out research are often the exception rather than the rule. This was one of the messages to emerge from a conference on physics and topical issues in society held in Copenhagen last November.
