Professor Todd

While here in BA, PA Todd decided to do a little giving back, by giving some talks at the Academy of the New Church (where he went himself) and Bryn Athyn College (which has recently had number of large expansions). He worked really hard to prepare for, and do these presentations as they were a cohesion of what he's been doing for the past decade or so, and it gave him a great opportunity to share this information with groups of students and locals who didn't know much on the topic. We went to go watch the last presentationwhich he titled: Native American Tribes, Treaties and Salmon Recovery in the Puget Sound: Science at the Crossroads. I took the kids along thinking we'd just wander the campus while he spoke. Surpirsingly Quin was fascinated and sat for at least the first 30 minutes watching his Papa. This wasn't a kid show either, there was lots of text and way over his head talking druing the powerpoint, but apparently Quin was very interested. He even went back in for another 15 or 20 minutes with his snacks to catch the rest of the show. Whereas H and I mostly watched from outside the room
At the very end we took a fun elevator ride though.
