Celebrating Science
Pictures from the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Double Helix Medals Dinner at the American Museum of Natural History (in the squid and the whale room!). Picture 1: The room. Picture 2: scientists from the lab who were asked to stand. Picture 3: Martina Navratilova, who, along with Chrissie Evert, were honored for their contributions to science. Dr. Bob Langer was honored for his contributions in biotechnology. He was such a mensch. Google him, he’s amazing.
I loved how Martina and Chrissie, who were such fierce competitors, came to be true friends. At the dinner, Martina mentioned how nice it was for her and Chrissie to be happy on the same day. When they were competing, one of them would always be happy because they won, and the other would be sad because they lost.
My brother, Douglas Horn, is on the board of the Laboratory, that’s how I got to go! Who doesn’t love celebrating science? Thank you, Douglas!
