Tom Paulson gets the student perspective on Lindau. He got a quote from me, too, although I think the words of Peter Agre will have more weight.
I really can't emphasize this enough: this meeting was a phenomenal experience for students.

I'd really like to go to something like that. Working together towards furthering our understand of the world is when humanity is at it's best.

For some reason, it seems that newspaper comment threads attract the lowest of the low... I am trying to train myself not to read them, because they just make me feel depressed and angry at the same time. I have neither the time nor energy to deal with all the siwoti flare-ups that occur following a foray into newspaper commenting...
