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: "Fear of Falling" by Barbara Ehrenreich
My next reading/blogging project will be Fear of Falling by Barbara Ehrenreich. It supposedly explores the anxieties of middle-class professionals. It seems relevant to academia...
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.
