It was an honor to write this, but also great fun. A chance to look back at the classics, and think about the path forward. #Physics is a beautiful human endeavor. journals.aps.org/prxlife/abst...

Once upon a time the notes from each course were collected in books. I remember many happy hours browsing in the library when I was a student, long ago. Now they are online, and happily free. Please enjoy and don't hesitate to reach out with questions.

The summer schools at Les Houches are a magnificent tradition. I was honored to lecture there in 2023, and my notes now are published as "Ambitions for theory in the physics of life." #physics #physicsoflife scipost.org/SciPostPhysL...
