First Report from the Campus of Excellence

ve been on the Canary Islands since Sunday attending the Campus of Excellence. It is a well-named event. Yesterday I learned particle physics from Dr. Jerome Friedman. He has won a Nobel prize in Physics. Far from being too brainy for me, he made the subject clear and understandable. It was like learning how to read music from a rock star!


Here I am with Dr. Friedman.

Today I had breakfast with a NASA Astronaut. Michael López-Alegría joined us at our table and then later gave us a talk about living in the Space Station. Incredible.

I´ll post more later.. This afternoon I´m exploring the $100 laptop!
