Mary and I just spent a wonderful evening at Wake Forest University and participated in their 30th annual symposioum on Biology.  Many wonderful developments as we start to connect the silos of specialized knowledge and start trying to learn from and engineer solutions to, real world problems on a basis of careful observation of our "Spaceship Earth".  This as opposed to the old way of continuing to learn more and more about less and less; and viewing the natural world as something to be conquored/tamed.  We go back again tommorow and I will try and share what we learn.
