Maiden Publications with Students

One's first publication is like first love and one seldom forgets it. A very large number of physicists, mostly undergraduates, have their first publication in a peer-reviewed international journal with me. The first publication journal is empowering and gives the student a sense that she too can make a contribution, perhaps small, to the general body of human knowledge.
