I enjoy doing astrophysics outreach to the larger community. During my PhD in Baltimore I was a member of the PAGS (Physics and Astronomy Graduate Students) outreach group at JHU, where we went to schools in the greater Baltimore area and showed cool science to young bright minds. As a postdoc in the Boston area I was a speaker at Astronomy on Tap, and collaborated with Science for the Public, a local Boston non-profit, in one of their episodes.
I like playing squash, and above all, coffee. This is a list of some coffee places I have really liked in different cities. Some are chains, and I’ve marked the ones I’ve tried. Some have comments, about what I especially liked (or didn’t!) If a place isn’t on the list it can mean that I haven’t tried it, or that it wasn’t worth adding. Either way, YMMV!
