@anntieup From what I remember, not really. At least not enough to make a big difference. It’s a demo on behalf of builders.

@anntieup I didn’t think we’re paying for the MagLev. Japanese business and gov will.

If a PhD is elected mayor, would they be Dr. Mayor? What about president?

To the Author of "Science Fairs Have Lost Their Way"

This is an email message I wrote to Rhett Allain about his excellent article in Wired this morning titled “Science Fairs Have Lost Their Way. Let’s Make Them Cool Again”.

Dr. Allain,

My name is Greg Walsh and Im a professor at the University of Baltimore. I saw your article about Science Fairs in Wired this morning and was very excited to see it. I have a 7 year old and have judged several science fairs. At best, participants follow the formula you bemoaned and my least favorite is when students build something without asking any questions about why or how…they can only tell you they saw it on the internet.
