The little validating gestures that mean the world to a teacher... I received this email today from a Harvard student of mine I hadnt thought about in 15 years: Dear Dr. Jost, Almost fifteen years ago I was a student in your section of Science B-16: The History of Life. Ive long since been graduated and for the past nine years Ive been a teacher. Recently, as an assignment for a graduate course, I had to reflect on a science class that asked me to demonstrate understanding via performance. I immediately recalled your PEZ dispensers and how we applied our knowledge of cladistics to them (and that your name rhymes with Panda Bear Ghost). So, just a friendly note to let you know how you made an impact on one student. -David
