Back in the day, I was a grade-schooler, and undergraduate, and a grad student in Hot-lanta. Trust me, we don't want to hold a FIRST event when the relative humidity is higher than the temperature, and both are in the high nineties. Those who still live there know what I mean.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
