It was a sparkling spring morning alive with color and radiant sunshine. But I happily joined 3,000 other science fans inside a dark auditorium for a full twelve-hour day of physics, cosmology, biology and more.

Yes, but I don't think one generally applies it directly the heart. I suspect that would have bad consequences.
