Some news! In August, I’ll be joining the Department of History at Georgetown. I’m going to miss Caltech (especially my students) and Pasadena but I’m really looking forward to moving back to the East Coast.

Fun new find my brother picked up for me this weekend. I’m obsessed with this cover. It even has a couple songs I haven’t heard before like The Drifter’s cover of “Every Night” from McCartney.
