Why Do I Study Physics?

Chinese artist Xiangjun Shi majored in both physics and animation at two different colleges at the same time. That's a real load of learning, especially in a foreign country. From her website:

When I left home for college in the US, I was fortunate to be selected for the very first class of a new Dual Degree program, presented by Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design. WIthout predecessors, and in trusting embrace of Brown's open curriculum, I was pretty much able to design my own education. While it may be too early to discuss the effect of that autonomy, in the past five years in this program, I have had chance to focus on a consistant pursuit - to bridge the arts and science.
