Did you know our physics and astrophysics faculty have out-of-this-world research backgrounds? 🌟 Just ask Mackenzie, that's one of the many reasons she chose the University of Minnesota as she studies to become a telescope engineer!

Come with the physics and astrophysics double major as she takes you through her day! Don't miss part 2️⃣ with her friend & classmate next week! by @umnphysics
