Hi Susan, Interesting question! If I could still be a physicist or a scientist I'd probably pick Astronomer or maybe Archaeologist. It is hard for me to imagine having a career that isn't science-based since that's what I'm most interested in and seem best at. -Christina

Hi Susan, Actually, not all of the Solar Week Scientists study the Sun. My area of expertise is magnetospheric physics - the Earth's radiation belts, the aurora, the Earth's magnetic field, geomagnetic storms, etc. If I wasn't doing scientific research in magnetospheric physics, I think it would be really cool to be one of the engineers who work in mission control during launches.
