After David Kestenbaum’s talk on the levee failure, I couldn’t help but to go chat with him. He’s a fascinating guy, and it’s a real privelege for the science community to have such an experienced scientist working in science journalism. He was a very relaxed guy, and still in awe that the physicists watching the CMS toroid descend whispered, as if they were chatting in church. I commented to him that the feeling of awe is the same in both places. This meeting has really attracted a slew of great speakers.
