“Sam is a very friendly person. He is engaged in many efforts to help other students and also to work in the area of Science and diplomacy. He goes to the Arizona State Legistlature (which is rather anti-science and educational funding) to make a persuasive case for the value of science to society. Sam also will work on improving relations here on campus between the Humanities and the Sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I told Sam about how ingrained science distrust was in our Department of English (and the Humanities) while I was finishing my Ph.D. Only somebody like Sam (or Leif) would cheerfully go to his fellow Lunar Lab grad students and try to think of how to connect to our grad students in English. Fingers crossed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So it all went well, with a nice buffet of vegetarian snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope this helps to bridge the miles and to bring you a bit closer to all that Leif’s legacy is doing here. Sam said he will try to live up to it.”<\/p>\n\n\n
