I guess it's time for a #introduction. I'm a theoretical physicist by training (PhD in quantum open systems/quantum information) and currently paying the bills as an engineer working in free-space optical communication (implementation) and quantum communication (concepts). I'm interested in physics and math, of course, but I enjoy learning about really any area of science, philosophy, and many other academic areas as well. My biggest other interest is hiking and generally enjoying nature.

I'm definitely interested in following #ScienceMastodon, but I'm also just curious to see the mix of interesting photos and thoughts on myriad topics that may show up here.

I'm sort of part of the #TwitterMigration, but I honestly haven't used the bird site all that much in recent times, and as a FOSS/Linux geek I've been interested in federated services like Mastodon for quite a while.
