Surrounded by physics

Today, I decided to work from the third floor of the Varian physics building. None of my MIT colleagues are around SLAC, and the office building where I work gets a little lonely between collaboration meetings. Nonetheless, I have no lack of work to do and I find getting away from the office and working elsewhere is quite effective, on occasion. That said, I’ve managed one paper review, steady progress on analysis for the summer, and even some code development.

Surrounded by the academic life here at Stanford, I find my concentration a little better. The mental scenery change is always a bit welcome, especially early in the week.
