Physics Breakthrough at UT Austin

Do NOT tell your mother!
I did look at the UT Austin website for this department. To be
perfectly honest the initial impression I got was not favourable.
Firstly, the graduate program links go to a central one for the whole
physics department, which is just scads of legalese and requirements.
Nothing about the actual interaction with an adviser that most places
say is critical.
Plus the web page for fusion department is VERY mickey-mouse.
But... there is something to be said for graduate school in Austin.
Fusion research that is actually on the verge of doing something
useful instead of "any decade now". I will have to consider it
seriously as part of the short list of schools, just based on the
location.
