    Magnetic monopoles and life choices

    I clearly remember the day I decided I wanted to specialise in condensed matter physics. It was during the last year of my bachelor studies. As we often did when we had questions on exotic (to us) physics concepts, me and my two study buddies went to ask Prof. Flavio Toigo for enlightenment. The main…
