Personal
The non-physics half.
Cats
I love cats. Several of them run the household and consider my desk, keyboard, and any warm laptop to be sovereign territory.
Under the sky
Observational astronomy — the oldest way of doing physics, and still the most humbling.
Moving around
Running, and ping-pong whenever there’s an opponent brave enough.
The garden
A small garden that asks for patience and returns it — a good counterweight to a screen.
With Charlie Kane and Gene Mele
My PhD advisors at Penn, and two of the physicists I admire most.
