I've been doing some long transit-accessible hikes as a way to get to know the Bay Area again after 10 years away. It's fun to put together routes that often aren't single trails, because with the exception of the SF crosstown trail (which I recommend!) most single trail hikes are either way too long or… Continue reading Sausalito -> Embarcadero 9/22

Self propelled particles are fascinating examples of how non-equilibrium behavior can be used to perform useful tasks. In biology, self propelled particles exist at all length scales, from animals like starlings whose fancy flights inspire awe, to motile bacteria like E. coli… Continue reading Research Overview
