Banquet

Tonight I went to a Sigma Xi banquet --- as one of the winners of the recent art contest, for which I received a nice certificate, together with a gift certificate for a local framing store (which I will probably give to the undergraduate with whom I constructed the piece).
A very pleasant evening, hanging out with entomologists and engineers, scientists and sceptics.  I took paper with me (of course!) and folded during dinner: all of the pieces went home with people, none left to litter the tables.

Yours, enjoying the scientific diversity,
N.
