Great read πŸ‘

I would go further to say that even those who are established in science need to better prepare for wild uncertainty.

For those following this thread - it is with such sadness that we hear of Frank’s passing πŸ’” He was celebrating others and sharing his love for the beauty and wonder of science right to the very end. He leaves an impressive legacy. We should all aspire to such heights.

Your post reminded me of this poem - I thought I’d share Frank.
It’s By Henry Van Dyke

Time is too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice,
But for those who love, time is
Eternity.

In a world of chaos - it is so reassuring to surround yourself with the smart, driven, minds of the future. We need to empower our students to be loud - to stand up to the ignorant, bullies who are threatening democracy and progress. My students give me hope ❀️ (getting in one picture is a challenge
