What an amazing speech blending personal and technical. I wish I could have heard him actually give this lecture (is there a video? I can't find it). And a great conclusion:
> In Berkeley it drizzles in the winter. Avocados ripen at odd times and the tree in Fred’s front yard was wet and sagging from a load of fruit. I was sagging as I walked out to my little silver Honda Civic, which never failed to start. Neither Fred, empty Becks bottles, nor the sweet smell of the dawn of the age of PCR could replace Jenny. I was lonesome.
- runjake 6y agoThere are audio versions of his speech on YouTube. I’d post a URL but I am on mobile. Mary was quite the captivating character and there’s a number of other speeches and interviews on YouTube, as well.
- trimbo 6y agoI apparently can't summon the correct search terms to find the audio of the Nobel lecture. Can you provide a link?
- runjake 6y agoInteresting. I cannot find it now, either. It was audio only and just had a static slide of the US penny-resembling Nobel logo on a white background for the "video".
