I think I will actually remember some of the details that Dr. Pollard talked about even though it is way out of my field because it was so enthusiastic.

Although the details of the subject (actin cytoskeleton and motility) are probably of less interest to me (probably just because his work is so fundamental you tend to take it for granted), you gotta give props to a guys who has spent his entire lengthy career studying 2 fundamental questions. Also for having the foresight to actually choose from the outset a question that could fuel research for that many years. Mostly though he was really sharp, enthusiastic, totally into his field, first principles oriented and spoke at a fast clip without repeating himself as a lot of speakers do!Baymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03436172198266062229noreply@blogger.com
