Abstract

This article is the result of a transcribed recording of an interview that Ram Seshadri [Materials and Chemistry, University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB)] conducted with Fyl Pincus who recently retired from UCSB (Physics and Materials). Its focus is an autobiographical account of Fyl's academic career and includes a personal view of the early days of soft condensed matter as a subdiscipline of physics.
