Why I admire Albert Einstein
“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT’S relativity.”
- Albert Einstein

Why I admire Albert Einstein
I admire Albert Einstein because he wrote such profound poetry:
WHEREVER I GO AND wherever I stay,
There’s always a picture of me on display.
On top of the desk, or out in the hall,
Tied round a neck, or hung on the wall.
WOMEN AND MEN, they play a strange game,
Asking, beeseeching:”Please sign your name.”
From the erudite fellow they brook not a quibble,
But firmly insist on a piece of his scribble.
SOMETIMES, surrounded by all this good cheer,
I’m puzzled by some of the things that I hear,
And wonder, my mind for a moment not hazy,
If I and not they could really be crazy.
-Albert Einstein
A story about Julie Louise Gerberding
I had to get her autograph, the only one I’ve ever allowed myself to get while working. She was recieving an award for the CDC’s research in spinal and brain injuries and my friend is becoming a Neurosurgeon at Emory. So I got her to sign the program that had her bio in it, for my friend. It was pretty cool when I finally gave it to my friend, just something to make small talk about if he ever has the chance ;)
