The Case for Studying Physics in a Charming Animated Video

Xiangjun Shi, oth­er­wise known as Shix­ie, stud­ied ani­ma­tion at RISD and physics at Brown. Then, she har­nessed her train­ing in both dis­ci­plines to cre­ate an ani­ma­tion explain­ing the virtue of study­ing physics. Pret­ty quick­ly, it gets to the crux of the mat­ter: Study­ing physics will change how you see the world and how you under­stand your place in it, all while let­ting you wrap your mind around some pret­ty elec­tri­fy­ing con­cepts. I think I’m sold!
