About

Measuring in Reflection is a blog about how physicists make sense of the world (and occasionally other things). You can read more about me here, and more about the premise of the blogĀ  here.

The cover photo for this blog, which quite literally shows a measurement apparatus in reflection, was taken by Mike Bailey. You can find more of his cool photography here.
