Step into the world of discovery, innovation, and real-world science with a special live event: Meet a Real NASA Physicist: Dr. Weiping Yu of NASA. This session offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from a working NASA physicist and explore what it truly means to build a career at one of the most iconic research organizations in the world.
While Dr. Yu’s work is rooted in physics, the conversation reaches far beyond the lab. For PhDs, graduates, and graduate students in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, this is a powerful chance to connect the dots between human performance, leadership, high-stakes decision-making, team dynamics, and applied research in complex environments—exactly the kind of challenges NASA navigates every day.
Whether you’re curious about nontraditional career paths, the intersection of science and people systems, or how advanced research translates into organizational impact, this event is designed to inspire, inform, and expand your professional imagination.
Join us for an engaging discussion on:
Career pathways inside large research-driven organizations
Translating expertise into real-world, high-impact work
The role of collaboration, problem-solving, and innovation in elite environments
Lessons that apply directly to I/O psychology and the future of work
Come ready to learn, reflect, and ask questions—because this is not just a talk. It’s an inside look at what excellence looks like in motion.
