James Hansen - Sophie's Planet #4: Chapter 5 (Univ. Iowa) & Chapter 6 (Japan)

28 April 2020

James Hansen
Becoming a scientist is not simple.  You don’t go to school, get filled up with education, and come out a scientist.  The best that can happen is that you get pointed in the right direction.

Becoming a scientist is a process, not easy to explain, but I will try by relating my experiences.  I had unusual opportunities, even if I did not recognize how remarkable the situation was.  I took my first steps, at the University of Iowa and in Japan (Chapter 5 & 6), as a result of a peculiar requirement imposed by Professor James Van Allen.

I opened a Twitter account @DrJamesEHansen, (https://twitter.com/drjamesehansen), but will minimize interactions until the book is finished.
