Yesterday, I went to a talk given at LBNL<\/a> by Bruce Alberts<\/a> on “Science and World’s Future<\/a>“.<\/p>It was an interesting retrospective of the work done by Bruce Alberts all along his career, focused on public outreach (for those who do not know, he was the Editor-in-Chief of Science<\/a> journal, the president of the US National Academy of Science<\/a> for 12 years and the author of the bible in Molecular Cell Biology<\/a>).<\/p>He explained his efforts in introducing “critical thinking<\/a>” education in US schools, and gave some examples which I found very interesting, since I interested in science public outreach myself
\n–Eh, you know what ? I’m a tour guide for LBNL now !<\/p>\n

Bruce Alberts’s drawing<\/p>\n<\/div>

He was a obviously a good candidate for a drawing ! He is not a Nobel prize himself, but he was definitely a Nobel prize maker…
\nI’ve asked him to draw me a torch, since he ended his talk with a quote of Louis Pasteur :<\/p>\n

Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s fun the he also quotes Pasteur,\u00a0like Richard Hamming<\/a> who quoted the pseudo-Randian :<\/p>\n

\n

Chance\u00a0favors\u00a0only\u00a0the prepared mind.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>

Now that in Berkeley, I really need to get a drawing from George\u00a0Smoot<\/a> (building 50-5007<\/a>, he was in the thesis<\/a> committee of a friend of mine), Saul\u00a0Perlmutter<\/a> (building 50-5038<\/a>; his daughter<\/a> is the friend a of colleague;-) , the previous director of the lab and former Secretary of Energy\u00a0Steven Chu<\/a>, the current director of the lab Paul Alivisatos<\/a> (a Nobel-Prize-to-be ?), and maybe catch-up with Charles Townes<\/a>, who’s old an often seen at the church in Berkeley, who was the first person I ever asked to draw me something and the only person who ever refused….<\/p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
