Looking forward to visiting @PicsUpenn virtually on Friday! Presenting a nonquantum colloquium will feel like trading my gel roller for a fountain pen, but here's to crossing boundaries. (Besides, what begins classical tends to end up quantized!) https://twitter.com/PicsUpenn/status/1363852249240383494

PICS UPenn@PicsUpenn

Very excited to host @nicoleyh11 of @harvardphysics this Friday at 2:00 for her seminar "Learning about learning by many-body systems." See you there! https://pics.upenn.edu/event/colloquium-nicole-yunger-halpern/ @pennphys
