What a great coincidence that my first KPS meeting is the one awarding Chris Jarzynski a Benjamin W. Lee professorship! Between APCTP and Jeju, this has been a 3-day celebration of statistical physics... Ft. many drawings of Maxwell demons and steam engines 👹🚂

More broadly I’ve heard a variety of comments from physicists (not the blogger) that are along the lines of: “we don’t even need students anymore” and “what’s the point of hiring students anymore” and it’s really hard not to reply “it’s our job to train the next generation you stupid, selfish fuck”
