Today at the end of my penultimate smith class, Mr. Randy Bartlett asked whicht of us were seniors and said "With the power invested in me, by absolutely no one, I now declare you educated women." or something like that. And then it sort of stuck me. And I kinda flipped out a little crazy like in my head. But just a bit. And then I went to Microbiology and it was uneventful. And then it was over.
This afternoon I went to UMass to see Craig Mellow speak. He won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine this year for his discovery of RNAi. His speech was only supposed to be an hour, and he didn't plan for that really, and it ended up being a kinda unfocused hour with random topics. It could have been better. I would like to have heard more specifically about his research and discovery or RNAi. Cool, regardless.
On Wednesday I will see my second Nobel Prize winner in a week. Slightly more well known, the Dali Lama.
