A Dancer's Mindset - Ep.23 Quantum Ballerina Merritt Moore! Time Management, doing the impossible, making your dreams a reality!

Hello Everyone! I am so excited about this episode as it is with a dear friend of mine and inspiring woman, Merritt Moore! @physicsonpointe With Merritt being so inspiring in her achievements, we talk about how she carved her own path, is now the happiest she's ever been as well as how she reached her level of success in a seemingly impossible pursuit! This Woman pursued not one but two extremely demanding careers.  About Merritt “Merritt has achieved what some would call ‘the impossible’: a career as a professional ballet dancer and as an academic quantum physicist.” - University of Oxford Dr. Merritt Moore graduated with Magna Cum Laude Honors in Physics from Harvard and graduated with a PhD in Atomic and Laser Physics from the University of Oxford. She also pursues a professional ballet career, previously with the Zurich Ballet, Boston Ballet, English National Ballet, and Norwegian National Ballet. She was awarded Forbes 30 under 30, and she was one of the 12 selected candidates to undergo rigorous astronaut selection on BBC Two "Astronauts: Do you have what it takes?" With her ballet, physics and astronaut background, Dr. Moore’s focus has led her to programming and dancing with robots. She was invited as artist-in-residence at Harvard ArtLab and during the pandemic, she created a number of dances with an industrial robotic arm, which became featured in TIME, Financial Times (FT), Vogue, BBC Click and more. Merritt has been invited to be the featured speaker at the Forbes Women's Summit in NY and Abu Dhabi, Princeton Physics Department, panelist for the U.S. Embassy 'Women in STEM' Panel in London, and is featured in the bestseller "Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls".
