Abstract

At a college where I taught, there was a ‘Last Lecture’ series, in which the faculty took turns giving a public lecture that would be the lecture they would give if it were to be their very last one. The invitation to contribute a few nontechnical pages to this issue of Journal of Plasma Physics has a somewhat similar valedictory ring, and inspires mixed feelings.
