Lloyd Mann took this photo of the lovely and vertiginous view from atop the chapel of St John’s College, Cambridge.

My #ThrowbackThursday photo this week is a school class photo from the mid-1980s. This was at St John's College, Southsea; an all boys private school at the time, run by the De La Salle brothers. I was in Alan House (pretty much the Gryffindor of St John's) and in this photo you can this year's teacher Brother Gerard there front and centre. I'm middle row, second from the left.

Today is the Feast of the #Annunciation.

This 1270s illustration was inserted into a #14thCentury #psalter now owned by #StJohnsCollege at #CambridgeUniversity - where red is the college colour; hence the name of the #blazer. Note the magnificent red & gold wings of the #ArchangelGabriel in this wonderful depiction!

Random thought. If G does end up going to #StJohnsCollege with B at #WilliamAndMary no child of mine would be attending a school founded after 1700. Being an American, this seems special and amusing. I'm perfectly aware that to the rest of the world this is commonplace.

Someone hold my hand. My senior got into #StJohnsCollege and it's her first choice and I want it for her but it's financially draining on both her and us before she even gets to grad school. If she just did a standard #liberalArts degree and not the #greatBooks program, we have another college acceptance that would get her through undergrad debt free. Yes, I grasp the extent of our #privilege but we still have to choose. #johnnies perspective would be welcome

He was asking me recently why I know so many stories from the Bible when I'm an #atheist (#stjohnscollege, #greatbooks). He also wondered why I seem to really like some of the stories in the Bible and not others. I explained to him that I love all sorts of stories where people stand up for people who are being hurt, and where people care for each other. I don't believe in the "magical" parts, but I do believe firmly in some of the themes in religious stories. (2/3)

#Introduction - My lab focuses on #olfactory system behavioral and #cognitive #neurophysiology. We do this in rats (mostly) and specialize in #NeuralOscillations as indicators of system states during cognitive sequences. I take a systems approach and my foundations are in dynamical systems.

I’m passionate about broad and deep scholarship and believe that scholarship is essential to progress.

I’m a proud graduate of #StJohnsCollege, Santa Fe #SJC, and view a classical education as one of the best things I’ve ever chosen to do (besides marrying my wife and raising our kids). My #liberalArts education informs every aspect of my scientific work.

Does anyone else still have nightmares about not being prepared for class? #nightmares

Just had a terrible nightmare about not having written a term-paper (seminar paper at #stjohnscollege #greatbooks ).
