The world science festival!

The world science festival 2008 is in NYC from late May to June.

I am so excited! I just can’t wait to attend the events. They have bunch of big-name Nobel-laureates giving talks in conjunction with performance/conversation with artists, on wealth of interesting topics like the human identity, the ever-staple nature of quantum universe, future cityscape and physical basis of life.

I'm already jotting down notes and marking down stuff on my calender (so I can ask for time off at my job). I'm definitely attending on all of the artscience events/performances, as well as everything related to robotics, human identity, and origin/nature of life-like systems. I may be attending one or two quantum-string physics symposium/panel/lecture, though given how all I hear about science in popular forums all revolve around the quantum universe I might as well skip them. I am definitely taking any and all Nobel-laureate panel/conversation events I can take, as well as any event in art museums. I believe a few events are taking place right inside the Met!

Some of these events will be rare opportunities. I suggest anyone even remotely interested to plan to attend at least one of the events they might be interested in, even just to show support for art and sciences (and artsciences).

Hmm. I wonder how much the tickets will cost. Will I have to live on instant noodles from now on?
