A personal tribute to physicist Mark Wise, a Caltech professor known for his warmth, clarity of teaching, and the tradition of tossing quarters to students who asked or answered questions. The author, a former student at Perimeter Institute and Caltech, reflects on how Wise's pedagogical generosity and humor left a lasting impression, inspiring her to carry on his quarter-tossing tradition in her own quantum-steampunk creative writing course. Mark Wise passed away in the summer of 2026.
