a running list of books, papers, and articles I'm exploring or have read recently, mostly in theoretical physics, statistics, and learning. entries are loosely grouped by topic.
beyond my research, I'm deeply passionate about theoretical neuroscience and philosophies of mind and science. I am also an avid reader of high fantasy.
