My daughter is one of those women.

I tried asking her what she does once, and her response was, "a bunch of physics I don't understand."

I'm pretty proud of her.

One of us. 🥹

I applaud her honesty and am a bit envious of her role in research (I'm guessing from her response).

[–] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Nah she's working, not doing research. Something to do with replacing obsolete failed components of semiconductor machines with modern parts. That's about the extent of what I understand. Something something circuitry and firmware.

Wait, physics you don't understand, or she doesn't understand.

Doing physics she doesn't understand is a lot more interesting ;)
