Trapped: Stories about being stuck
b"Today, we\\u2019re bring you two stories about feeling trapped -- whether it\\u2019s at the border, or in the aftermath of an acid spill. Both of these stories were recorded live at our recent Proton Prom event on June 3. \\nPart 1: When Kimberly Chao begins her internship, she doesn\\u2019t expect to end up covered in acid! \\nPart 2: When Saad Sarwana is detained at the airport after Sept. 11, he tries to prove that he\\u2019s a physicist. \\nKimberly Chao is a walrus. Or rather, she is known to play with her food and make a walrus face. Professionally, she manages investment portfolios and teaches financial literacy. Kimberly was also the champion of Story Collider\\u2019s first Super Collider science storytelling competition, and you can find her original story here. \\nSaad Sarwana is a physicist and stand-up comedian. As a physicist he works in superconductor and microwave electronics and is the author of over 40 peer reviewed publications and the inventor behind two US patents. As a comedian he has been doing standup and Improvisational comedy for over 20 years, and even won a Moth StorySlam. For 6 years and over 100 episodes Saad was on the Science Channel TV show \\u201cOutrageous Acts of Science\\u201d. He is also the creator and host of the 'Science Fiction and Fantasy Spelling Bee'. He has told several stories previously for Story Collider. \\nPlease take our short reopening survey here: https://airtable.com/shrdkUgC108JgBCwo \\nWe appreciate your input!
