Personal blog for Alex Small, a young and cranky traditionalist physics professor.
Current Reading
This blog is primarily for me to blog my responses to books that I'm reading. Sometimes I blog about other stuff too, though.

Next book: How Economics Shapes Science by Paula Stephan
The next book will be How Economics Shapes Science by Paula Stephan. I am told that it's an excellent read, and talks a lot about job markets and research funding in science.
I'm an associate professor of physics at Cal Poly Pomona. My research interests are mostly in biomedical applications of optics (especially theoretical limits to superresolution, and also light scattering calculations), with some side interests in percolation theory.
I am using this blog to chronicle my responses to books that I'm reading, particularly books about higher education issues. It's a way to work out issues in my mind.
