Science Lessons in Cambridge

Last Friday Christopher and I spent the afternoon and evening at Harvard. We were there at the invitation of a friend who offered to give us a tour of the Chemistry and Biology labs used by graduate students and post-doc students. Our guide was a friend who earned his MD and PhD (Biochemistry) at Harvard, Finny Kuruvilla.

We spent several hours visiting various labs in the Chemistry and Biology buildings and getting demonstrations of the various scientific equipment and devices and learning about the biology of the cell. It was a fascinating day and quite an inspiration for Christopher, since his favorite subjects are Math and Science.

After dinner at a Mexican restaurant, we spent a couple of hours with the Harvard Science grad students’ Christian fellowship meeting. We watched a film on Intelligent Design and stayed for part of the discussion. The film is excellent.
