A fulfilling career
DOI: 10.1063/PT.3.5372
I admired how the obituary of Benjamin Breneman Snavely (Physics Today, October 2023, page 69 ) shines a light not just on his research accomplishments but also on his life of service in the private and public sectors. I did not know Snavely, but I am grateful for how my life has been touched by many scientists like him. The authors’ remembrance shows how a career in physics offers us—beyond moments of breathtaking joy in a new discovery—a path toward sustained happiness while we help those around us live enriched and fulfilling lives as we engage in our pursuit of expanding the frontiers of knowledge.
