We had the great fortune of having the late Dr. Leslie Orgel give a guest lecture one day ... great thinker and lecturer. In a bit of synchronicity, he was a friend of my Ph.D. thesis advisor at the U of I and visited the lab at least once when I was in grad school. When he was visiting the lab, I went up to him, introduced myself, and mentioned that I remembered his lecture at UCSD, and he was quite humble in his response ... a really nice person.

In contrast, we also had a guest lecture in that class by the late Dr. Stanley Miller, and he did not come across as a great lecturer. (The UCSD scuttlebutt was that Miller was in Urey's (his thesis advisor) office bugging him about one thing or another all the time, so Urey suggested the now-famous 'prebiotic soup' experiment as busy-work for Miller so he'd stop bugging Urey for a while!)
How come all these guys were late? Too concerned with synchronicity to synchronize their synchronographs?

Speaking of PhD's...my friend Dr. Grinspoon has kindly offered me a 'comp' ticket to a lecture being given at the Museum tonight. He'll be giving the introduction for Dr. Susan Solomon of NOAH in Boulder. She led a couple of expeditions to Antarctica during the time frame when I was working there. She's a world-renowned expert on...oh, y'know...temperature, and melting ice, and chemical changes to the upper atmosphere...stuff like that.

Let's not speak more about it here...

Say, how 'bout them Rickenbackers?

I don't think that Rickenbackers came from outer space. Now, the genius that went into their design...

We are all (quite literally) made of star stuff.

Ed Wood, on the other hand, came from a completely other dimension.

Professor Russell Doolittle is still alive, AFAIK.
