As the cockroach flies

Jake Vincent, who graduated with the Ph.D. in June 2021, writes with the following update and photo:

“Since graduating, I’ve moved to the San Fernando Valley (“The Valley”) and have been adjusting to all things SoCal: heat, being tailgated, and the occasional flying cockroach, to name a few. I miss the Santa Cruz redwoods, but I’m appreciating the natural beauty of the area down here, too (see photo). Work wise, I’m currently teaching Language & Mind remotely, which I’m enjoying since I never had the opportunity to TA for the class. While I patiently look for my next career move, I’m working on small projects here and there, including writing a text editor plugin for navigating markdown notebooks.”
