This might be my favorite place that I’ve ever visited…

One of the most beautiful, relaxing, peaceful places in New York City—or anywhere for that matter. Go on a Saturday morning and admission is free.

First, in addition to being a fine museum, it’s a spectacular, beautiful piece of monumental architecture—one of my favorite buildings in NYC. Second, the location is great, right next to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and a block from Prospect Park (not to mention right across the street from my apartment). Finally, it has one of the best outdoor fountains I’ve ever seen; we Brooklynites like to sit out there all day in the sun and enjoy it.

Might be the most beautiful place in the world!

I’ve been invited to go on a speaking tour of nine cities over two weeks, from Sept 4-14! If you’re interested in the relationship between science and society - especially in the transformative potential of nanotechnology - here’s my tentative itinerary:

Dunedin
Timaru
Christchurch
Nelson
Wellington
New Plymouth
Wanganui
Palmerston North
Auckland

I lived there from 1975 to 1985. Good memories!
