Last night I was honored to be the first of three faculty members to take part in the 14th annual Last Lecture series here at ASU. The other two talks are next week.

Flipped through the slides and now sorely wishing I had been able to make the lecture. Please let the word out if you intend to give it again, in Tempe or on the road!
Highly unlikely that I would be giving it again. It was, after all, a Last Lecture. Would seem like cheating to go for a second attempt :)
Your lecture last week was great, thank you so much for sharing your experiences!
