fun with high expectations
A nice downer to jolt an otherwise pleasant morning in LA, brought to you by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. For all you aspiring scientists, I present to you the HHMI "deletion" test:
"Would the world be very different if we eliminated all of your work?" (link)
13 words that seem to encumber the next 6? 10? 30? years of my life, anyhow. I like to reserve the "world is affected" talk for the nobel laureates, but apparently, it applies to all of us.
And though most of us are immune, with only a nascent, pinnacle-deprived undergraduate career, the deletion test will soon become a benchmark. How perfectly uplifting.
I will be heading up to Frisco this weekend, to visit Jeremy & Mamo to ensure that I am still better friends with each of them myself than they are to one another. I've suffered enough third wheel battles to surrender this one, though they are roommates.
