“Change can be difficult, but you have to make yourself do it if you want to better yourself and your education. I’m here to learn so I can take something back to my people and my country. There isn’t much funding for experimental physics in Pakistan. I need better equipment, teaching methodologies and advanced science. So for the sake of my research, I have to compromise comforts like being with my parents and eating my favorite foods.”
Saadia Nasir is a graduate student from Pakistan pursuing a PhD in Physics. One of her favorite things about UD is the chance to meet people from around the world; she now has friends from India, America and Bangladesh. She also loves that she can go to the beach and skydiving so easily. She and her husband got married this summer and they hope to explore more of the U.S. next summer. Saadia is this week’s #FriendofOISS.
