What Physicists Do – Lynn Cominsky

Prof. Lynn Cominsky has served Sonoma State University in many different ways for the past 39 years and will enter the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP) in August (despite her retirement not actually being early), in order to continue to support EdEon half-time for up to five years. On Friday May 5th, 2025, Prof. Cominsky spoke about her career at Sonoma State University as the final presenter of the What Physicists Do lecture series. 

The series began in 1971, and has happened every semester since, for a total of 109 semesters! Unfortunately, with the cancellation of the Physics Degree Programs at SSU, this important and topical lecture series is also ending.
