White House speech: "Big Data in Multiscale Modeling and Biology".

A Ph.D. student who I referenced in another post here, reported that she was inspired by Dr. Ivet Bahar.

I didn't know who she was, so I googled my way to her Wikipedia page.

Ivet Bahar

Dr. Bahar currently resides in Pittsburgh. She came to the United States to become a professor at University of Pittsburgh, Department of Molecular Genetics & Biochemistry in 2001. Notably, she is the first Turkish female scientist elected to the National Academy of Sciences of the United States.[4] In 2016, she was invited by President Barack Obama as a guest speaker to the White House to give a speech titled "Big Data in Multiscale Modeling and Biology".[5]


Can you imagine the philistine still in the White House, and soon to be unceremoniously escorted out of it, inviting someone to give that lecture?

It will be so good to have an intelligent and decent human being in the White House again.

Now that the racist thug has become a pariah to whom little attention is being paid, it's great to be seeing our President Elect transition to office. I want to weep for joy.
