The World Science Festival

I mentioned Brian Greene's op-ed in the Sunday New York Times yesterday. On Tuesday there was a report about the World Science Festival he and Tracy Day organized in New York.

That was the World Science Festival in New York City this past weekend: 46 shows, debates, demonstrations and parties spread over five days and 22 sites between Harlem and Greenwich Village, organized by Dr. Greene, the Columbia physicist and author, and his wife, Ms. Day, a former ABC-TV producer. Jugglers and philosophers, magicians and biologists, musicians and dancers -- a feast one couldn't hope to sample fairly.

Year of Science 2009 hopes to create the same type of excitement nationwide, and we have some interesting things planned at UConn. Stay tuned!
