The 3-year appt will allow me the privilege to think & write. I'll work on new scholarship on patents, property, space law, public-private partnerships, U.S. foreign relations, the histories of law & science -- & my 1st academic book, on law & communications satellites at the dawn of the Space Age.

The defense was back in Nov. 2024, but the delay here is due to my long detox time...

I celebrated w Rooh Afza soda.
Some1 gifted me w the DUNE ornithopter LEGO set, which-I can say as a lifelong LEGO nerd-is 1 of the niftiest Ive ever built. Most exhilarating pt of the post-defense detox.
I started defense w a clip from the CHILDREN OF DUNE miniseries. It was relevant, I promise.

During the defense, I used a LEGO satellite model I made as part of a demonstration using a globe.
Many thanks to Tsering Wangyal Shawa & Berta Harvey
at Princeton’s Lewis Library for lending the globe. My aunt Gloria came all the way to the defense... & helped me transport it. :)
