Rob embodied science. That was easily reflected in this symposium and everything that he did for this department.

We knew what a great job he would do. We knew he would be detail oriented and the symposium would come off representing the department, the university and the undergraduate club for how great they really are.

His thinking was very much ahead of his years. He really knew what was important to the club, the department and the community.

Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition.

The science is being stretched.

I think this Children's Museum will meet a need that museums like the Field Museum and the Museum of Science and Industry do not meet — and that's a lot of interaction.
