years of my career at Weehawken High School, where I taught Algebra I (students in grades seven to nine) and AP Calculus (grades 11-12). In the 2021-22 school year, I moved to an elementary school in Santa Rosa, California. Starting my career at the height of COVID literally altered my brain chemistry as an educator.

And so, after I returned back to Madison, I was in a conversation with a former elementary school principal at Fulton Elementary. I struggled in chemistry and I got very little support and so that meant that I couldn’t go on and take physics. And after my graduate degree, I again moved back to Madison.

In physics, those “topological phenomena” presumably correspond to things like elementary particles , with all their various elaborate symmetries. Ultimately one wants to see how the structure and behavior of the system can be broken down into elementary “tokens” and “events”. Chemistry / Molecular Biology.

It didn’t help that his knowledge of physics was at best spotty (and, for example, I don’t think he ever really learned calculus). In 2015 Ed told me a nice story about his time at Caltech: In 1952–53, I was a student in Linus Pauling’s class where he lectured Freshman Chemistry at Caltech.
