astro and partical physics are definatly becoming more appealing to the world.

and it's nice to know that science is ready to start taking leaps and bounds to finding the truth to how, and where we came from and were we are going.

it's a really uplifting feeling to know you are at the birth of the most interesting and possibly most important movement of the future world

I took a class from her in ~ 1992. Several years later there she was on NOVA I think. Didn't know I was learning undergrad astronomy from a legend at the time.
