Don't think to much into this. Borek thinks everyone photoshops fake pictures of themselves. When I first posted a pic he thought I photoshopped a picture of Brad Pitt.

The bold emphasis is by me.

You don't know how true this is. I've relied on other members for moral support during hard times. The longer you stick around here, you will certainly make good friends.

Agreed. A great bunch of people.

Borek is like the crazy uncle.

I got a haircut!



And my shirt is awesome and you know it.

Borek

Photoshopped, or a real one?

You look a little bit more round to me now.

Char. Limit

Nope, that's a real haircut.

Here's my world renowned neuroscientist sister, Dr. Helen Neville, with world renowned political activist, Noam Chomsky, in Eugene, Oregon before driving off to Portland for Noam's speech to a packed crowd!

A fellow Canadian?

Yes, sis got her PhD at Cornell in Ithica but graduated from UBC, SFU with her BSc and MSc s.

Her thesis was on brain plasticity and that is all the rage these days... her first publication was titled "evoked potential"... very daring!!! for those days.... around 1964-5...

Some of her other buddies include the Queen of Sweden, the late Jonas Salk, the late Carl Sagan, the pope (for some reason) and many more!

That's so cool !

I wonder, just how does one become buddies with the pope ?

Borek

I guess it happens before pope becomes a pope - see these images.

Actually it was an educational thing for the pope where scientists from many disciplines are chosen to speak to the pontiff about their subject. This was during PJPaul's reign (or whatever) and he was often caught napping! Then she'd get a free, private, 2 hour tour of the Sistine Chapel etc.
