In the fall of 2021, after a remote year, I was teaching in person wearing a mask close to 100% of the time. A few weeks into one intro course, where the students didn’t already know me, I lowered my mask for a moment and there were audible gasps from the class. They’d never seen the lower half of my face!
“What did you •think• was going to be down there?!” I quipped. (Maybe they were picturing tentacles, like an Ood?)
But the gasp was genuine: after hours of looking at my masked face, they still had no idea what my •unmasked• face looks like.

The Wendelstein 7-X concept proves its efficiency
One of the most important optimisation goals underlying the Wendelstein 7-X fusion device at Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald has now been confirmed. An analysis by IPP scientists in the journal Nature shows: In the optimised magnetic field cage, the energy losses of the plasma are reduced in the desired way. Wendelstein 7-X is intended to prove that the disadvantages of earlier stellarators can be overcome and that stellarator-type devices are suitable for power plants.
