Sean M. Carroll

Works at Caltech as of 2020.

Sean's series The Biggest Ideas in the Universe has some merit, but it's just to math-light falling a bit below the missing link between basic and advanced.

But as usual, it falls too close to popular science for Ciro's taste.

Critique of Harvard by Sean Carroll. Applies to basically all universities.

Maybe they did try once though: Harvard Project Physics.
