Awesome evidence that not everyone on the Los Angeles Metro watches TV shows on their phones all the time. #lametro (still no sighting of anyone reading #thedialoguesbook so far.. 😄) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrTJsxkHVj3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wdr043cafqaf

“Softly, as in a morning sunrise...” (I particularly love how this lighting really shows how much of a *ceiling* the clouds form.) #sunrise #losangeles #winteriscoming https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq8nOIdg-Wi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2ys49bon1775

Because ideally every early morning committee meeting should have coffee cake... #baking #coffeecake https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq5px11noRw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ltknghss9olj

Exploring some possible props for a public event I’ll do at the Natural History Museum in February. Stay tuned! @nhmla #thedialoguesbook https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq3CV2lnF0X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r7ejg1k4s0ha

It’s Saturday morning, so of course thing needs fixing. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq2v64RHfE0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kmagg4g0iktk

When the coffee machine is broken, go old school... #mortarandpestle https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqz4uPxgn7X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mx6sl54sbq1q

Astronomical Family Fun! I’ll spare you the pictures we took of Mars and Neptune. This closer body makes for an easy snap of course. (A $16 connector for smartphone to telescope was a wise investment.) #astronomy #themoon https://www.instagram.com/p/BqoarwDHn3R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9j7e4zop7yra

A bit better but I overworked it. Supposed to be more of a throwaway slap-dash jobbie. (Sometimes the key to #drawing is to be less of a perfectionist.) #sketching https://www.instagram.com/p/BqnyCTeny4a/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vyqudnzcdozq

A little figure posing experiment. (Pencil and paper.-Just in case you think I only do digital these days...) #drawing #sketching https://www.instagram.com/p/BqnoIP1n5Dg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16p1kx7y8uh0n

Wait, I get to appear with Walter Isaacson again?! AND Brian May?! Nice. #brianmay #walterisaacson #kinokuniyabookstore https://www.instagram.com/p/BqYJi_iHxDR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4q6brn4kima2

Yes, it’s probably in your local public library. If not, ask them to order it. #thedialoguesbook #lapubliclibrary https://www.instagram.com/p/BqTFpoMHVSF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8q1cije0sxbv

When a colleague, sitting across from me, declares that he saw a physicist on a TV show explaining science to the general public and so it made him think that they’re not a serious physicist... Thus reminding me of what I still have to deal with - in 2018! I wonder what people say when I’m *not* in the room, and how much such attitudes have cost me?! #ActuallyIDont https://www.instagram.com/p/BqJAH4cnYAd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v9xy1rxwljgs

Interesting character on the subway this morning. Need to practice bodies as well as faces. Time lapse to follow. #sketching #drawing https://www.instagram.com/p/BqIpQHrn5Ex/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17o2246gbfkhx

Can’t wait to see the bewildered looks on the faces of my E&M students in a few minutes when I ask them to all step outside and observe that the sky’s blue and there’s a particular pattern to it... #scattering #polarization https://www.instagram.com/p/BqGKZ60H_DG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xqszubd5g40d
