Robert Krulwich!

Today was Willamette's convocation and the keynote speaker was no other than Robert Krulwich of Radiolab fame. As we are huge fans and thoroughly enjoyed Radiolab's live show in Portland a while back, we had to attend, of course.
So I took the day off, made my way to Salem as well and joined Michaela for a convocation for the first time.
 Robert did not disappoint and delivered a stunning speech about the science of story telling and the need to wonder. Good stuff! Shortly thereafter we had a reception with Robert for the faculty (I was Michaela's '+1'!), where we were fortunate enough to chat with him a bit. Among other things we now know the outline of the next Radiolab show!! (No spoilers here.)
