      Nope, I am the first one. Most of my family are nurses (both of my parents, grandma, 2 aunts, 2 cousins). So, they were bewildered when I told them I was going to major in physics and astrophysics in college. Also, no one has a PhD in my family. Hopefully I will pass my viva (thesis defense) and be the first!

      No, just me 🙂 There rest of them are accountants *cough* boring! *cough*

      I have great fun trying to explain science things to them over dinner and they ask me to fix things around the house. I’ll turn them into scientists yet! .
