Los Geeks de la Playa
Below is an old spring break photo from back in the day -- Cozumel when it was a sleepy little island. In the picture are 3 Caltech grads, 3 MIT PhDs (two in theoretical astrophysics, one in plasma physics), 1 former quant (now back in academia), a managing director still on the Street and a developer of fMRI imaging software. No, none of us are gay -- that's just spring break giddiness you're looking at :-) The guy on the far left ate the worm. The geekiest guy of all didn't show up -- he went to the APS meeting or something at the last minute, I can't recall exactly. I think we were listening to La Isla Bonita the whole time! (Recent covers.)
A quant who went back to academia? I thought that was only a myth!
ReplyDeleteI actually know 3 guys who have been "there and back" again!

P - F - BI - F
P - F - P - F - P
P = physics, F = finance, BI = bioinformatics!
Of course, the overwhelmingly dominant path is the simple one:

ReplyDeleteYeah. Sort of like joining Napoleon's army shortly before the invasion of Russia. ☺
Timing is everything, my boy!
ReplyDelete"No, none of us are gay"
ReplyDeleteyet one of you loves UFC.
Jiujitsu: it's only gay if you make eye contact!
ReplyDeleteBut I didn't know UFC / MMA had a big gay following.
What is your combined IQ?
