I'm a computer science postdoc at the Salk Institute. We're having a big public event next Saturday (Walk for Salk) where we're also doing lab tours. Bring your daughter there and I'll give her an extra tour of the computational areas.
(find me at avani@salk.edu)
- 31reasons 13y agoLove Salk institute! very spiritual architecture too. I am not 12 year old but do you think i can get the tour ? :)
- jonahx 13y agoIndeed. In case you've never seen it, there is a great documentary on Louis Kahn, the architect, with beautiful footage of his works: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0373175/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0373175/
- 31reasons 13y agoYes I have, Thank you. I love Louis Kahn and his work.
- avani 13y agoHere is the sign up sheet for lab tours during the event. I'll be volunteering there and am happy to talk about computational methods with anyone who is interested. http://www.salk.edu/stepintodiscovery/exploresalk.php http://www.salk.edu/stepintodiscovery/exploresalk.php
- mikeho1999 13y agoWhat an incredible idea for an event! But just out of curiosity, has this been publicized at all? I live in SD, and I regularly tune in to local media (especially NPR/KPBS), and yet, reading it here on HN is the first time I've heard about Walk for Salk... Anyway, it sounds like a great event, and I hope to come and bring the family!
- avani 13y agoThere was an employee "contest" to e-mail people and let them know, but we're (sadly) pretty insular out here. Make sure to sign up ahead of time to walk or take a lab tour (http://www.salk.edu/stepintodiscovery/exploresalk.php http://www.salk.edu/stepintodiscovery/exploresalk.php), and please tell your scientifically inclined friends :-) .
