I was very sad to learn tonight of the passing of Rainer "Rai" Weiss, who shared the 2017 #NobelPrize in physics for the direct observation of gravitational waves by laser interferometry.
A fond memory was meeting him at the 2018 APS meeting, where he spent a lot of time chatting about career paths with one of our #SMU students. He was kind and gracious.
