Science Saturday at Harvard
Today the Harvard Undergraduate Research Symposium had a “poster session” in the Science Center. I blurred through on my break. I apologize to the folks. I was the drive-by interrogator. Perhaps, I will blog lights. I don’t want to call them highlights. I will call them “posters I had a clue about”. I didn’t know cell biologists could spell isotropy let alone use it. Perhaps I was a bit too flippant. My remark is not about the young folks. It’s ’bout me – being so old; having accomplished so little. I don’t envy them. Well not much. I celebrate them. Bunji Sakita was a rather modest man. When he said, “You did rather well,” it meant something. Folks, you did rather well.
Sadly, I couldn’t stay and talk to more of the folks. There may be other people who couldn’t make it or didn’t know about it. Can we scan the posters and put them online? As long as you have an e-mail account with the Harvard Computer Society, why not talk to them about blogs/wikis?

*It was electromechanical rather than electronic, but it was a ‘stored program’ machine unlike previous calculating machines.
