astronaut harrison schmidt

Brushes with fame (science and mathematics edition)?

In a recent I heard that CNTB met Lynn Margulis, and ran emucompboy with astronaut Harrison Schmidt (the last man on the moon). They can tell their stories. My favorite brush with fame to do a course in the Philosophy of Mathematics with Alonzo Church. (For Church-Turing thesis fame.) It was my last quarter as a student at UCLA … and I was thrilled to learn that he was teaching there, although in the department of philosophy, not mathematics. Anyone else? Spying on Watson and Crick discussing a check at a restaurant? Catch Richard Dawkins purchase Fishsticks in the Safeway? Participate in a heated debate with Stephen Hawking at a symposium of physics?

I was on a tour of the USC with my students – a handful of students seventh grade. Our guide was a friend who is an engineer at JPL. I am in awe of this type – a real scientist. We eat and talk about anything when it goes blank watching another group of people. He just gets up and goes to another group. talk with them for a second and becomes radiant. It was as if he was back in high school and talked with a girl he liked. It was Dr. Olah – Nobel Prize winner, etc. organic chemistry was ordered that my students have to see my heroes have heroes.
