How did you get here?
I returned to Berkeley after serving as an Assistant Professor at a small liberal arts college. My wife decided that six years of Connecticut was enough for one lifetime.
Who do you work with? What’s cool about your job?”
I get to talk to grad students, PhDs, and postdocs from virtually all fields who are some of the smartest, most interesting, and accomplished people in the world.
