Hiya! I'm Iain, a Physics PhD student at Caltech.

Part-time baker and gym rat.

Go blue.
I'm 95% convinced that classical mechanics is just the professor looking at the most devious engineering contraptions ever and saying "now, what if it that thing was inside a truck moving so fast, you need Galilean transforms".

I love coding.

I love looking at my sweet little "Running calculations line..." that I added that totally wasn't necessary and I'm just finding the determinant of a 2x2 matrix.

Please don't look at the error messages.

Yea, you think you're good at cooking

Then you try hollandaise and fail and then re-evaluate whether you're in for this type of life at all and maybe you should have become a Buddhist monk instead.

No I'm not okay I really wanted this hollandaise to work.

I'm only a nihilist when my code doesn't run.

Check back in 20 minutes and I'll be back as a good, naive, church-going boy after I fix the accidental dereference to a null pointer.

I realized that my GitHub profile picture is a lovely testament to my past humor as a 20 year old.

I'm not changing it.

Thank you, Mathematica, for fueling my laziness to not do integrals.

(I have forgotten my Calculus 2 rules and am a wee bit embarrassed)
