[Xmca-l] FW: mom

[Peter Smagorinsky]

Gotta brag about my mom?..she?s among the women-in-science
now being recognized retroactively for their contributions
to various fields. I never got the STEM gene, and my
parents? involvement in the hard sciences probably makes
me different from a lot of my social science colleagues.
        
Interesting note: one of my meteorology colleagues at
Georgia says that ?hard sciences? are increasingly social
sciences because of the impact of people on nature. Maybe
we?re onto something.
