>I visited Kip Thorne’s office (just down the hall from mine at Caltech) to talk about cosmic inflation and the search for primordial gravitational waves. But what we really talked about was something slightly different: what it means to dedicate your life completely to Science, and what it takes to find answers to the questions that keep us awake at night.

>We also took a picture together with his “little poetry book”, as he calls it, opened on the page dedicated to BICEP and the search for gravitational waves from the South Pole. A quiet reminder that even science is made of beauty and poetry.
