It was great meeting you and your other half in London, Annette. But I'm not a mathematician! (I shall refrain from commenting here on the fallibility of memory. :-) ) I have a physics degree from University College London, circa late 1950s (egad!). But I would not call myself a physicist, as I follow George Bernard Shaw's dictum: "He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches." (No offence folks – at College level some both do and teach.) For the benefit especially of Stephen Black. I checked online, and it is authentic GBS, from an Appendix to "Man and Superman".

Seriously, I HAVE to meet some of you folks before I die! The wikiality link is too funny. I don't know when I'll be in New Yawk city but it's on my bucket list. I met Allen for coffee (not tea) in London--delightful! Didn't realize until then that he is a mathematician by training, and not a psychologist. I have also met Michael S in Daytona, during one of the AP readings, although I stayed in the background--he was spinning music outdoors. There are a few Canadians on this list I'd like to meet as well. And Beth! Have to meet Beth some time--aren't you in San Diego periodically, why haven't we met yet? Ah, it's so great to have a to-do list. And I will be in South Africa in February--but unfortunately only around Capetown! Annette ps: I took a grad course in dev psych from a devout follower of Jensen. Sigh. None of the women in class "got" A's; but the men did. :( My advisor advised me to not pursue it in academic grievance channels as the grades in grad school are not that relevant, and I did "get" a B; and it was better to just leave it alone; and he'd find a way to show that my grade was as it should be as everything was graded subjectively via papers and essay exams; and it was better just to focus on my dissertation. I don't know if I wish I had done anything--or not--as a year later the guy dropped dead. Literally. I'm glad he was out of the educational system. Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph. D.
