We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later; and the birth and growth of the spirit, in those who are attentive to their own inner life, are slow and exceedingly painful. Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth. (Mary Antin)

a little experiment hits prime time

Well, if you count a Friday night math-premised CBS program prime time. I just wanted to mention that this week's episode of Numbers , they mention my old experiment, Dzero. You can watch the program free at the show's website. Josh and I of course had to heckle what they said. The crazy physicist was "invited" to work at Dzero, which "searches for the Higgs boson". In truth, Dzero would let pretty much anybody from a respectable university with some grant money work on the experiment, and they've done/are doing much more than looking for the Higgs, though admittedly, that's the big prize.
