Show and Lecture at Harvard

My old assistant, Luke Leafgren, is a Ph.D. candidate and the acting resident dean of Winthrop House at Harvard. This week he brought me to Cambridge where I lectured on Perception at Ken Nakayama’s Vision Sciences Lab during the day, and did a show for the students at Winthrop House at night. It was just like old times, working together with Luke, and we had a great time. Thank you, to all the students who came out and packed the Junior Common Room at Winthrop House!
