WebSite of Larry McLerran

This website has information for professional colleagues, family friends and family. 

My professional   vita contains information related to my professional career.  This is a more or less up to date accounting of my career in theoretical physics.  There is also a link to an anecdotal form of the vita which is perhaps more accessible.  The anecdotal vita  and vita its continuation is now partially constructed.

My  scientific publications are listed on spires, which is a data base run by Stanford University.  My papers are accessed by typing find a mclerran in the displayed dialog box.  I keep some of my talks available as power point files, since conference proceedings cannot always include all the figures and illustrations.

I have written a number of anecdotes about scientific colleagues.  These were composed largely for birthday celebrations, and are not widely available.  There is also an anecdote about my brilliant cat, who I once unsuccessfully tried to get a visiting scientist position. 

I have several pages for my family.  These include a page for Alice.  Alice  has a web site where she presents her professional work, and her own take on friends and family.  In McLerrans  I describe my grandparents, parents and siblings.  Alice and my family, her children and our grandchildren, are the subject of Our Family .

I give a simplified explanation of my scientific activities.  These are the major  themes I have worked on in my career.  I hope this will give family and non-physicist friends the spirit of my work.

The sections with pictures of my wife and family are long.  I spent a couple of days trying to dig up old photographs.  The grandchildren will be happy to know that I have not posted the “naked baby on the sheepskin rug” photos.  They do exist, nevertheless.

I am relaxing in the garden of the Ruijin Hotel after the talk I gave at Quark Matter 2006.  This is a a hotel of much historical significance in post revolutionary China.
