I knew fostering a puppy would be tough but my goodness is it a nonstop. But he's so damn cute and sweet and went from being so scared when arrived to happy over the past few days and it's been worth it! If anyone is interested in adopting Fitz, let me know! :)

One of the main reasons I'm learning physics is my dad and 3 grandparents were physicists, it gives me a shared language and a better understanding of how they've viewed the world. Feels almost spiritual to me like living in their hometown for some time and it's very fulfilling!

Fulfilling my dream of fostering a dog for the first time! 6 month old puppy and his name is Fitz 🥰

Hit the point in my physics studying where being super rusty on chemistry has been a major limiting factor to understanding better (started feeling in atomic structures part of quantum mechanics but a lot in condensed matter). Need to do a refresh since I last took it in high school

Proud of my husband @wwarren for what he and the 0x team built over the past 10 years! Saw him go from smart contracts tinkering in grad school to dropping out due to passion for decentralized exchange to now billions in monthly trade volume and enabling swaps for the major players

Today I’m transitioning out of my role as co-CEO at 0x. I remain a major shareholder, I’ll continue to sit on the board, and I will continue to lend my full support to @abandeali1 and the team. I’m proud of what we’ve built and our role in realizing the vision of tokenization

My friend and I went to the bookstore, picked up a scifi fantasy book and then just popcorn read it out loud for a few hours. Was actually really fun since we could talk about things as it was happening and made it really immersive. Would do again!

Had a lovely time in Nova Scotia! Beautiful nature and amazing food

Biggest mental shift for me starting to learn quantum mechanics has been thinking in terms of probability and being comfortable not always having intuition behind why something is happening. Assuming will just take time to adjust

Made my own hologram of a circuit board (can be any object) in holography class! Interesting seeing everything had to be very still to record light interference patterns (table that dampens movement, objects glued so no vibrations, no talking/sound waves during laser exposure)

Every time I'm about to do a trade on Matcha I tell my husband @wwarren and then he asks if he can watch like a user interview. This has been going on for years and I love that he cares so much!

Learned about quantum tunneling and my mind is blown! Particles have a probability of appearing on the other side of a barrier ("getting through a barrier") even if they don't have enough energy. Insane not just theoretical but has many real applications (e.g. nuclear fusion)

I know basic for those who learned but months ago I saw this at the start of quantum mechanics and was intimidated. Today I was able to go through it and learned it's getting familiar with new notation, uses past functions, combines / rewrites some. Anyone can learn over time!

Starting quantum mechanics in my curriculum today! This past week I've particularly enjoyed learning about how electrons can move up/down energy levels by absorbing/emitting photons and how lasers work by making use of this. Also first time seeing uncertainty as a variable!
