How (not) to motivate new graduate students
I love The Big Bang Theory. Tonight my family and I watched the episode The Cooper-Nowitzi Theorem, (Season 2, Episode 6) which I think is one of the best episodes.
It begins with this "inspiring" speech from Sheldon to the incoming class of graduate students.
I have fun at work trying to use quantum many-body theory to understand electronic properties of complex materials.
I am married to the lovely Robin and have two adult children and a dog, Priya (in the photo). I also write an even more personal blog Soli Deo Gloria [thoughts on theology, science, and culture]
