My wife pointed out, once more, a link to something on Venter (link below to blurb). I wonder if she wants me to work with him. [Nope, irrelevant inference.] And she has no idea I made another reference to him already today. Do I tell her?
This group he’s going to work with is cool.* This whole thing is cool. Could have been cooler is I were still there. It’s not at the medical school where I worked at in Boston, but the main university in Cambridge. But, I still would have gone out of my way to see him speak.
Link: J. Craig Venter named visiting scholar | HarvardScience:
J. Craig Venter, the visionary biologist and intellectual entrepreneur who was a leading figure in the decoding of the human genome, will join Harvard University as a visiting scholar at the University’s Origins of Life Initiative.
*As usual, I’ve met a few of the people where he’s going to work.
