How did you find PF?
I'm a longtime lurker.
Hi folks,

I've finished my PhD in theoretical cosmology this summer, and will be leaving the field shortly to take up a career elsewhere. I contemplated postdoctoral opportunities but ultimately they were not compatible with my relationship needs or some of my other life goals. I still want to remain connected to the field, and still massively enjoy learning any new physics I can - I often find myself reading textbooks and working problems for entertainment.

Nice to meet y'all!
