More Than Just Physics

Stephen Parker is a professor from Saint Martin’s University(SMU).In 2012,he came to the North China Institute of Aerospace Engineering(NCIAE)to teach physics as a result of a collaboration between SMU and NCIAE.Here,we have an interview with him.My earliest memory of an interest in science was in Kindergarten Question:Why did you choose physics as your major?And what arouse your curiosity or interest about it at the beginning?Parker:My earliest memory of an interest in science was in Kindergarten,when I was given a book about the solar system from my school teacher.I actually still have this picture book on a bookshelf today,but I remember thinking about how cool it would be to explore outer space and our solar system.
