Science Week

Speeches

They tried to warn me, but I was unprepared for what happened on campus yesterday. Science Week! Science is good. Good enough for 10,000 students to visit campus each day for three days! What's more, it's Science Week across Thailand, meaning that every science program at every university participates. Wow! Talk about big. The College of Science cancelled classes, but students in other programs had to attend. There must be a scientific explanation for this kind of discrimination. 



Exhibits & Displays

So, campus was a virtual beehive of activity yesterday. There were elementary, middle-aged, and HS students everywhere. Monks came, students were dancing in the street, speeches were given, food tents appeared, lines were long, people were noisy. At times, it seemed more like a circus than a science fair. Each university science student had to assemble a display for visitors. College students worked outside of class. Impressive!  A new set arrive today. Maybe I will return to work sometime next week!
