Highly Variable

In today's episode, I talk about my goals for 2021, a mindset shift that I've had in the past month and what that's done for my productivity, and use my new green screen on YouTube for the first time!

In this episode of Highly Variable, I talk primarily about grading and my experiences of being a TA so far this year.

I talk about Stephen Hawking, his book, A Brief History of Time, and how it was one of the most pivotal books I read as a high school student.

Although long overdue, I finally got around to editing and uploading the one episode I filmed in Hawaii from trip in January. I was on the fence about uploading this episode, but figured since I went through the trouble of bringing my filming gear to Hawaii and back, I might as well show what it produced. In this episode, I talk about the trip and all the different stops along the way, and how it is mainly a trip focused on my astrophysics research and develop as a young scientist. These stops include the American Astronomical Society Meeting, an observing run at Gemini North Observatory, and the inaugural Submillimeter Array Interferometry Workshop!

In this episode, I talk about the holiday season and reflect upon numerous life events that occurred this last decade.

In this episode, I talk about why 3 is my favorite number, my recent astronomical observing experience at Lick Observatory, the bibles of my research field, and how I met my current PhD advisor in graduate school.

In the second episode of Highly Variable, I discuss my leg injury I’ve been dealing with for the past year, Kevin Durant leaving the Warriors, and how all I think about is physics when people talk about Greek Life.
