“I am not a researcher or a scientist, but I feel the work we do here at the Lab is important. I like to contribute by helping people with their jobs and providing technical support.”

“This is our Earth, and if we don’t take care of it, it’s going to be more polluted than it is now. It’s up to the people to take care of it, and we at PPPL are trying to do our part. I try my best to do my part with recycling.”

“I always liked physics and solving problems, and that in itself is a motivation. As for fusion, I think it’s good to have a final goal somewhere, even if it’s far away. If fusion energy succeeds  it would be very useful for everybody.”

“Having the opportunity to work with physicists and engineers has brought me to a different space. I always tell my friends I am connected to a laboratory that discovered the sun as the ultimate source of energy. Isn’t that cool?”

“Here we are trying to do what the sun does – making fusion energy. I find that mind-boggling. It’s inspiring.”

“I fully support PPPL’s primary mission of developing fusion energy into a sustainable and renewable energy source the entire world can use. I think it’s incredible that I get to be part of that. When fusion energy does succeed, I can say I was there when it was starting.”

“Working somewhere where you fully and utterly believe in what they’re doing is incredibly fulfilling. I’m so proud of the work that PPPL is doing. The whole Lab is doing amazing things.”

“It’s an opportunity to support new directions and a future that’s beneficial for everyone. I think it’s really a noble cause or noble endeavor really, working with the advancement of fusion research and technology and being able to provide sustainable energy for us and for the world. Having a small part in that process is very fulfilling.”

“Being a part of the change that takes place at the Lab is amazing, and I always look forward to coming into work each day because of it. Not everyone has the ability to say that they’re contributing to something revolutionary, so I’m grateful for each day that I’m able to contribute to the Lab’s success."

“Seeing the passion from people who wake up every day to change the world, it’s cool to be a part of that — to know that if a breakthrough happens, you were part of helping the people that created that is pretty incredible.”

“I love that we’re working toward sustainable fusion that could become the energy source of the future. That, and our talented co-workers, are what keeps bringing me back to work day after day."

“I like what the Lab stands for: the mission of clean energy. The Lab’s mission is the motivator.”

“I’m grateful to be working at a place that’s going to make a positive difference in the world."

"I can honestly say I never wake up in the morning and feel like I don’t want to go to work. I love my job, I love this place and I believe in our mission."

“What I enjoy most is that every day is different, and it provides new challenges in sourcing and trying to find the best product available at the best value."

“PPPL is a pioneer in plasma physics and I think administrators help. We are contributors, we are necessary, and we keep everybody accountable. We are central to the mission."

“When I tell people I work at PPPL I have a sense of pride. It is an honor and pleasure to support the Emergency Services Unit. That’s where my true passion is."

“Fusion energy is going to be another revolution for humankind. I think most of us engineers here are excited and want to contribute to that goal."
