Lecturing to press officers -- Comment()
Yesterday I lectured to 73 press officers from the Finnish universities about Computational Science: Supercomputers and Databases. This was a nice experience. I used examples from drug discovery, cosmology, etc. I have been giving lectures to all kinds of audiences, but this kind of audience was the first for me. I hope I managed to give some idea of the possibilities and challenges in this area.
