Publications

This is a list of my publications in periodicals other than this blog. They’re all academic journals right now, but this is also where I would put any non-academic external publications, if I had any. Maybe someday I’ll get to write an article about myself in Scientific American like Richard Gott did, then I’ll link that here too.
