I am also the Education Officer for the National Society of Hispanic Physicists . I belong to several other physics and astronomy organizations but my lack of time permits me only to pay fees.

Many people think of physicists as formal, stiff and overly-analytical.
But what drives us is our passion to understand the universe and our delight in the wonder we see.
