As I wrote to Susan on election night:

“The world has forgotten how terrible nuclear weapons are; I fear that our odds of repeating that lesson may have greatly increased.”

In this tweet, I see confirmation of that fear.

At the celebration for David Thouless’ Nobel Prize today, a few of us got sad news, which we hadn’t yet heard.

A few weeks ago, the world lost Debbie Jin, one of the most accomplished experimentalists of our time. Shining among those accomplishments was the first Fermi condensate, for which she might have won her own Nobel.

I’ll remember her more, though, for the kind and thoughtful evening she spent with a gaggle of interested graduate students over dinner at Cedars.

Really good people 0.

Sad; it’s not real yet.

It never crossed my mind that we wouldn’t climb with you again, Franklin. Not once.
