World Science Festival reposted this
With fellow physicist and friend @brian_greene111 who leads one of the best science festivals in the world World Science Festival in NYC. Brian and his lovely wife Tracy Day gave me my first job during a summer in NYC over 15 years ago to help plan the 1st ever event in 2008. I’ve been attending every year since then and have participated on stage a few times. It’s always so inspirational and Brian -who is a professor at Columbia, is brilliant when coming up with analogies to explain physics clearly #lovephysics #wsf #scienceinNY #WorldScienceFestival
