Computing is key for physics research, from running simulations to calculating difficult equations. To support JILA's computing needs, the Computing Shop and its six members offer various resources, including onboarding new JILAns and updating older wifi systems. In this new "Humans of JILA" podcast episode, you'll hear from two of the Computing Shop members and discuss the rich history of computing at JILA.

Computing staff member Dan Packman dives into the history of computing itself, discussing how the hardware changes have changed computing's abilities to help further science. Packman also shares some fun stories about his journey from CalTech to NCAR to JILA. 

Similarly, staff member J.R. Raith explores his journey to JILA, sharing his interest in computers and video games. Raith also reveals some fun unexplored areas of JILA and discusses how the institute is working to update its computing abilities.
