Aggie Branczyk sits down with Ekaterina Babourina-Brooks, a former theoretical quantum information PhD student at the University of Queensland (Brisbane, Australia) who moved to the UK to become a high school teacher. Ekaterina combined her physics education with an apprenticeship-style teaching program designed to accelerate the transition of professionals into teaching roles. Now she's back in Australia where she teaches physics and math. In this episode, Ekaterina talks about her day-to-day as a teacher, including the joy of student interactions and the challenges of administrative duties. She shares her experience as a PhD student and gives some practical advice for current PhD students considering teaching.
