I drove the team van to IRI last year, leaving St. Louis about 3am to arrive at Lawrence North at pit opening time on Friday. Though I had printed a Google map and thought I knew the way, I was starting to get nervous and excited as we got within a mile or so of the school. Right after I asked one of the students to check the map, just to make sure I hadn't missed a turn, I saw a pickup truck coming past me on the left. In the truck was Andy Baker, and he was waving at us and pointing down the road toward the entrance.
Jane, just get somewhere close to IRI, and someone will appear to make sure you don't get lost. It might even be Andy.

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.
