It was an honor to be asked to speak to 1000 high school science students, teachers, and parents from around the great state of Illinois on "The Science of Toys." My presentation was in the Illini Union building at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign and the crowd was probably the largest I have ever addressed. I could barely see the people far in the back, and I am sure they couldn’t see me or my many marvelous toys.

 

 

 

Kudos to Tara for being my technical assistant and Jessie for being on the phone that evening long-distance, guiding our efforts to get the powerpoint up and running. Not everything worked perfectly, but it all came off swimmingly nonetheless. Things do not need to be perfect to be very good.

 

It was a successful presentation punctuated by applause and laughter. They liked me, they really liked me, I think. But then, I am one of the funniest people I know. Honest.
