Professor Peter DeMenocal, Frontiers lecture, Monday morning, in response to a student asking why dinosaurs survived in warmer temperatures but humans can’t:
“That’s our world, like it or not. We’re not dinosaurs.”
Spanish professor in Milbank, Monday afternoon:
“Spanish is spoken in 19 countries… i mean, depending on whether there’s a revolution, right?”
Thanks to Hillary Busis and Ashley Nin for the tips.
