Padman did a degree in Electrical Engineering in Melbourne, and then worked for two years in CISRO's Radio-Physics Laboratory in Sydney. In 1977, he went to the then all-male St Johns College at Cambridge University because of the cutting edge radio-astronomy work at Cavendish Laboratory.
I applaud her for having the strength to ignore the oppressive expectations of society and transition to a more complete and fulfilling life. So many like her continue to live as engineers instead of becoming the physicists they know themselves to be! :laugh:
