As a low temperature physics experimentalist, I find that my mood is inversely proportional to the temperature of my fridge.

Loop rule or junction rule?

And today I was reminded that 1 kilobyte is *not* 1000 bytes.

Things I've learned so far this summer - don't drink coffee right before you use the wire bonder.

This is probably the worst draw you could have in a lab.

People don't want to know about his math, they just want to know how to pronounce his name!

First time running a dilution fridge.

Wait a second, mathematician? Them's fight'n words!

Student asks for recommendation letter [writes a carefully crafted recommendation letter] [goes to website to upload letter] [finds out that you cannot upload a letter, but instead must answer a series of 6(!) essay questions about the student] [screams into void....]

Nothing will endear you to your kids more than learning their slang, and yelling it out the window of the car when you drop them off at school. Of course it's extra points if you use the slang in the wrong way.

Somebody really doesn't like low temperature physics

aps.org/publications/apsnews… It was great attending this workshop and working on ideas for incorporating computation into the advanced lab. And now I get to be in the picture on APS news!

Sometimes electroscopes look like dancers surrounded by sparkles.

The semester so far.

Back when the braves were inexplicably in the NL West.

Damn that third law

At my kid's back to school night, and I just kept getting distracted by the obvious flaw in these posters.
