And further, by these, my son, be admonished:
of making many books there is no end;
and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
Ecclesiastes 12:12

I live in New York City, with my wife Erin, son Andrew and daughter Heidi. Currently, I am an astronomer in the Department of Physics at NYU, and in the Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics there. For more information on my work and viewgraphs consult my research page, where I maintain a weekly schedule.
