Welcome to Physics Intersections!

Science hiding in everyday life

Introducing my newsletter!

Ever wonder why coffee smells better than it tastes? Or what’s really happening when you see a rainbow in an oil slick?

I’m starting a newsletter that explores the fascinating science tucked into our daily routines—the physics in your morning toast, the chemistry in your shower, the biology in your backyard. No lab coat required.

Each week, I’ll unpack one ordinary moment and reveal the extraordinary science behind it. Think of it as a pocket guide to understanding the world that’s already around you.

First up: Everything about AQI. We check it every day, but what do those numbers actually mean? How is air quality measured, and why does it matter more than you think? Let’s dig into the science behind the index we’ve all learned to live by.
