Great Connections

My wife's week-long "Great Connections" seminar for high-school and college students seems to be going great, from the reports I'm getting so far.

Larry Gould, a physics professor, spoke to the group yesterday about the history of our understanding of gravity. He said the students' enthusiasm and interest were outstanding.

My wife said the students were having a great time talking with each other, too.

The seminar is designed along the lines of the learning techniques my wife has been advocating for young adults, which involves a mix of information acquisition, followed by structured seminar discussion.

Young minds, bold searchers,
deserve careful nurture.
