Prologue

Hello there! It's nice to meet you. My name is Peter—what's yours?

As of July 2026, I'm a student at Stanford studying physics and public policy. I'm working on discovering a new fundamental force with the Gratta Lab, I'm working on Scott Wiener's congressional campaign, and I have many other projects on the side. I'm interested in Earth and climate science; technology, energy, housing, and immigration policy; atomic, molecular, and optical physics; individual and group psychology; and gearsyness. In my free time, I enjoy collecting rocks, reading surrealist fiction, and going to cafés. You can email me at pbenn [at] stanford [dot] edu.
