Status of this website as of May 2024

Roughly coincident with my retirement and the pandemic shutdowns, my former website was lost.  I have finally enlisted help to re-establish a presence on the internet, primarily as a convenient source for colleagues to find my publications.  I plan to add other features gradually through time.  To be as complete as possible, I have tried to find (1) everything on which I am listed as an author and (2) other papers published by my students or postdocs from work in my lab on which I am not a co-author.  I am omitting such ephemera as book reviews, of which I did many for the QRB.  If you are aware of articles that I have missed, please let me know.  During my years at Stony Brook (1980-2000), departmental etiquette favoured sole authorship by students, unless the PI had contributed significantly to writing the paper.  After I moved to Toronto (2000 onward), the procedures for evaluating grant proposals militated adding the PI as an author for everything that came out of the lab.  Therefore, the secondary list of non-Thomson-authored papers serves to put the two halves of my research career on the same footing.
