Program Announcement: I'm Moving
September 1, 2011
I've dropped some hints in the past that my relationship with ScienceBlogs would be...altered. Well, I've decided to leave. Mostly, it had to do with the issue of pseudonymity, although I'm very excited to hang out my own shingle once again. I don't want to rehash the issue of pseudonymity,…
Note to Unions: This Is Not How You Build a Coalition
September 1, 2011
The old saw that 'we hang together or we get hung separately' is a perfect description of how the left has disintegrated into irrelevance. Too often, groups will focus on modest gains for their own narrow constituency, while selling out other allies. Over the long term, each component of the…

Being Complementary About Uncertainty
This semester I took a course on quantum optics. I'm an AMO guy and quantum optics is one of our department's particular strengths, so it was both a very useful class and a pleasure to take. One of the graded requirements of the class is to write a paper from a list of quantum optics with the stipulation that it couldn't be from our own research. Essentially the paper is supposed to be sort of…
The Physics of Touching your Toes!
Can you touch your toes? Seems like an easy thing to do for those of us who have the flexibility. Now, here's the challenge. Stand with your back and your heels pressed up against a wall, and now try to touch your toes. You can't do it! Not without putting your hands down on the floor, you can't.
