Abstract We observe the adventures of a Ph.D. student in the Department of Physics at Harvard University. His equation of motion thus far in life is retraced via a brief background sketch, with a brief digression into stories of his escapades at the IPhO. By directly imaging the subject we also obtain visual evidence of the transition between clueless teenager and purposeful graduate student. Contents
