My experience with Professor Tulin creating a club:
There are so many different memories it is hard to name. If you search my inbox you will see some much conversation back and forth with Dr. Tulin. We started the Future Women in Physics Club at York as a way to encourage and inspire those in Physics. Women are under represented in Physics and I want to be an advocate and create change in the field.
(Dr. Tulin) Tarnem is very outward focused where she tries to not just look at what she is working on but so many different things that she tries to connect together. For example she came to me once suggesting a research connection between Astrophysics and Medical Physics and at first I was very confused there was a connection and after she convinced me and inspired me to write my own research grants in the one particular area.
