Amazing shot
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later.

Every dollar spent on public higher education, especially research universities, delivers far more in return. So simple. And yet it is all-but-impossible to convince politicians of either party to do the wise thing.
