🎼Science Fair, the musical…
My take… on this room full of talent, representing the full range…of scientific inquiry…from trials in vials, on to genetic expressions...of fruit flies, of all things (that our fam favorite, aka our graduating grandson, tells us we share about 60% 😲) with the accompaniment, of course, by three people of particular interest— blamely, the judges, who stood out from the onlookers and other inquisitors, not only being stiff as a bored, but carrying clip boards...😓
Culture wars... the only one they're preoccupied with, is the ones grown in the lab, which are grown in what -- to be fully transparent here, looks a lot like that which was earlier developed by Robert Koch, but modified enough to name it a Petri dish...a fundamental tool in what those in the know simply refer to as "micro" - which only makes sense, since students who study cellular...biology, spend so much time bent over...a microscope (a remarkable finding in and of itself, for this cellular gen)
Geek peak... the scientists of the future. If our future is in their hands, I'm good to go. But as one poster child reminded me…”never jump to conclusions as this assembly might just represent what the most basic of sampling might just turn out to be a skewed distribution…” 😟
Wait and see approach... to counteract what they, and their poster presentations cautioned me about, as I was aspiring to be a social scientist myself -- namely, "observer bias"...figured I'd stick around just long enough...to soak up a few extra IQ points. Science wise referred to as "osmosis". 😉
