Lawrence introduces me to Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson, a wonderful role model for everyone, but particularly women in science.

Great photos. Thanks for posting them. For those of us who didn't make the conference, it's nice to be able to see what went on besides just reading about it.
So will there be a debate? I've been following your blog and the website in the hopes that it will happen. It necessary and we need candidates to understand it's not a choice, but it's an obligation to address science.
Thank you both for all your incredible work.
Shirley Ann Jackson is one of the ten scientists whose biography (Strong Force) is part of the "Women's Adventures in Science" series from the Joseph Henry Press. (See http://www.iwaswondering.org where "was" = Women's Adventures in Science). She is a great role model indeed, as are the other nine.

Shirley Ann Jackson is terrific--I was at a conference with her at Aspen last summer, and was very impressed. Not that the president of a major university needs me to be impressed.
Michael,
Looking forward to next time when we do better coordinating our schedules :)
