Episode 2: Andrew & an elementary particle: from water tanks to the Universe

In this episode Xue receives Andrew and he will tel us about his PhD-thesis. He studies the fundamental particles left over from every star that has ever exploded — supernova remnants. Specifically, he looks for neutrinos, which are nearly undetectable particles produced in those cosmic events. He works with an international collaboration on an experiment located under mountains in Japan. He also shares with us his experience as a PhD student, the activities he does to maintain a work-life balance, and his advice. Bon voyage !
