As always, I am apologizing for not posting in a little while. I swear these things will come weekly instead of every other week. Keep me to it!
Anyways, I have some really exciting updates from here in New Orleans. I just came from a dinner reception with none other than Celine Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau's granddaughter! It was great! She was invited to come speak by the Newcomb Institute and since I was the chair of the Women in Science committee in charge of bringing a speaker to campus, we worked to set up her lecture, a nice daytime reception with a small group of undergraduates, and the dinner reception I just came from.
Celine talked to us about the importance of environment conservation, sustainability, and giving back to others since we are all part of the same human species. It was a really great lecture. And then dinner at Daisy Bistro was amazing and we got an even more intimate chat with her over some great food.
Anyways, another great opportunity provided by Tulane which I thoroughly enjoyed and had to gush about. Celine was even nice enough to take a picture with some of the girls who came to the dinner and me!
Have a great Halloween weekend everyone!
