Hi, I’m Max Cohen. I’m a PhD student studying elementary particle physics at the University of Pennsylvania, with my bachelors degree from UC Davis. I graduated with highest honors, being awarded a citation for outstanding performance as well as the Saxon-Patten prize for promising future work in physics.

Through all of this, I have become fairly specialized in physics. However, with the very real possibility of AGI (artificial general intelligence) within the decade, researchers like myself may soon be replaced. I thus seek to broaden the scope of my knowledge to prepare myself for the world ahead. Sometimes I’ll talk about books or podcasts or other blog posts, and sometimes I’ll just write about something I’ve been thinking about. I welcome you to follow my journey.
