Exhibit could only have happened with the terrific curatorial team of students: Katherine Enright, Manny Medrano, and Francis Newman.
What a joy to be back at Harvard for the opening of Measuring Difference! My hugest thanks to @gabrielasotolav for asking me to be part of the curatorial team with the wonderful Manny Medrano and Francis Newman, and to everyone at @harvardchsi and @HarvardMuseums

A symposium then a standing ovation by colleagues and former students for Prof. Dain Borges this past Friday at the U. of Chicago. A life lesson in how to retire as an academic. Fortunate to have had (and continue to have) Dain as a mentor.

In case anyone is in the Pasadena/Los Angeles area this evening. Tonight at the Huntington. Free, just need to register.
Join our friends @TheHuntington for this important talk. Prof @gabrielasotolav will be discussing her research on how Mexico became a leading producer of wheat germplasm and how it was instrumental in finding a solution to end global hunger in the mid-twentieth century.

Surprising Pasadena fauna during early a.m. walk. Reminds me of a wonderful 2003 documentary, "The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill," which explores displacement and human/non-human animal interactions in urban spaces. I hope this little guy finds a flock, or at least, a buddy.
