Thank you Emmy Noether

Urania is talking to me this week (I'm being productive at work), so posts with more content will have to wait.

I've been looking for an excuse to post this for a while. Randall Monroe is more eloquent than I can ever hope to be.

Glossary

Epsilon is my son.

University E is where my partner has a tenure track position.

His Town is the town where my partner and Epsilon live, next to University E.

University F is where I had my last post doctoral position.

My City is the city where I used to commute, containing University F.

University G is my current post doc.

My Town is the new target of my commute, containing University G.

Eggmus is a term I stole from Adequate Parent, who no longer blogs. It refers to the cute things that make kids kids, that I both adore, and maybe want to kill Epsilon for.
