This is the view from the 17th floor of that blocky building that BU built two years ago. It's an interesting skyscraper and gives nice views over the Charles river and the Shawmut peninsula generally. I gave a 'lightning talk' at the BU materials day presented by Prof. Brown. It was a great event and I learned a lot about where engineers are advancing materials from a wide range of backgrounds. There were computer scientists, mechanical engineers, aero, electrical, chemists, biologists, and everything else in between there.
Last weekend, my mom, stepdad, and stepbrother were in town. I showed them the interesting side of Boston and ended up stopping by this nice exhibit on East Campus. It was well put together. Slightly offputting to see the student center bathed in so much bright white light and fresh trimmings. Looks a bit more artificial, but maybe I got too used to the 90's aesthetic that stuck around that building a bit too long.
