Update: I plan to release a second edition of Plastic Fantastic by Kindle and Paperback through Amazon, correcting typos but otherwise not making changes. If you are or know a skilled typesetter available to help me reformat the cover art and manuscript please reach out.

This is one of the most aesthetically unpleasant things I have ever seen. Imagine thinking that quantum mechanics is just a jumble partial differential equations and ugly special functions.

Sometimes being a dad means that you have to make a promise to your toddler and you end up lecturing to your graduate class wearing a giant sloth costume

Join us TOMORROW, 11/4, at 12:45 pm in Foldy Room and Zoom for a condensed matter seminar! Brian Skinner (Brian Skinner) of Ohio State Physics will be speaking on "Johnson noise thermometry using ohmic and hydrodynamic electrons." #physics #condensedmatter Case Western Reserve CWRU art|sci

... huh.

This is one of the great (and dangerous) things about getting a PhD: it the last remaining realm of education where there is enormous variance in what and how you learn. It still produces a wide range of thinking styles and competencies among people getting the same degree.

If you want to contact your senators/congressmen about the NIH freeze, the advice I've been given is to keep it brief and emphasize why it matters to you personally. Here's what I sent just now. science.org/content/articl…

the story of the Microsoft claim of topological qubits so far

Inna Vishik The utility of photovoltaics seems possible precisely because the science is so boring: it's the same p-n junction that we've had since the 1940s. The more interesting the science, the more skeptical one must be of claims of utility.

We’re celebrating #IYQ2025 with monthly #quantum science collections. March’s edition explores measurement-induced quantum phase transitions — where measurement competes with internal evolution, triggering a phase transition in entanglement structure. 🔗 go.aps.org/4iCyRPU

"Gut Biomes win championships" - Nico Harrison

Watching electronic ice melt | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… I’m delighted to share a perspective I co-authored with Brian Skinner (Brian Skinner), highlighting an exciting new experiment that captures quantum melting in a disordered 2D Wigner solid.

Harvard. PEPFAR. LIGO. Basic science. And dozens of other crown jewels of not just the US, but of humanity. And one extremely corrupt man and his cronies and enablers are attempting to partly or totally destroy them
