They Blinded Me With… Science!

Tibetan Monks and Nuns Turn Their Minds Toward Science

(Something for discussion: I only recall seeing monks in the workshop last year. I do not know if this project was recently opened to nuns, or if it just “happened” to fall that way.)

I lived in the Sarah College guesthouse during the month of June 2008, alongside the Western professors and Tibetan translators of the Emory Tibet Science Initiative. While it is true that some of the professors treated me rather coldly and I witnessed some of them really struggle with the culture shock, others I met were totally awesome.
