And I think because there's beauty in it. Like art is beautiful. Math is beautiful. All measurements are also beautiful if they're done right. And I see that. And I think that's why I enjoy measuring the same thing over and over again, because then it gets more and more perfect. You know, your errors go down and

At least 200 hours, maybe even 400 by now. It really went fast because I got so interested in it. And literally I would get up in the morning and before I have my coffee and just wearing my boxers, I would run to the computer and rerun my MATLAB scripts to see, you know, what results I've gotten. And I was spending all time I had. At one point I had three...

or four, actually four computers, you know, crunching through the numbers in parallel, because it was taking sometimes a day or a day and a half to crunch this 3D scan, because it was just so high resolution. And I couldn't wait, so I had four computers crunching. Yeah, and a pretty good ones. One is like Core i9, you know, latest and greatest, you know, the fastest.

I bought specifically very fast, the fastest laptop I could find to crunch the numbers. So it was supremely exciting and I don't know why. I mean, some things are hard to explain. It's just really hooked me. Well, I guess number crunching, I'm partial to number crunching. I'm partial to measurements. It's kind of part of my DNA.

Yes, yes, I'm working on a nuclear reactor, yes. That's pretty cool. Yeah, I published my results last May in a Nature Scientific Report, so that's the neutron flux I mentioned. So that's, you know, one of my interests.

Working primarily from home. And then for a while, I thought about getting a space or renting or buying a space. And I almost did. But before I did, I realized, well, then I have to drive to work. Yeah. And I'm very fortunate to have a sweet, loving, and caring wife, Veronica. Winters, who puts up with me, because she permitted me to turn our house into, basically into a lab.

So the first thing you see when you walk into our house now is a germanium detector with a liquid nitrogen tank. So you stumble over that, and you get into the living room that has two big electron microscopes. in it. And two smaller ones that I'm trying to repair. And then, so it's four electron microscopes at this moment. So the fifth one I sold, fortunately. And then you go to my lab and
