Dr. Dunston's lecture was supposed to be inspirational, I suppose. I feel like Dr. Carr is a tough act to follow, but somebody had to I suppose again. I suppose she had the lecture so eloquently worded in her head and that somewhere between there and my head, the intention was lost. She talked in circles for quite a bit. Reiterating the same message and idea, she spoke and spoke. Sometimes the same ideas weren't even worded differently so it seemed as if she was a broken record. However, I appreciate her. I appreciate the research she is doing and the fact that she even took the time to lecture to us. Too many professors or researchers don't feel the need to pass their knowledge to the younger generation. They feel as if we should rediscover every discovery on our own. Really, we should have knowledge of current and past discoveries so that we can challenge them and move forward. I appreciate Dr. Dunston for sharing her knowledge and her view on life. I do agree when she says the knowledge is out there. It is in the universe and we have to tap into it. Her message might have been a bit too "weirdo freak mumbo jumbo"; but lucky for the both of us, that is exactly how most would describe me. I took a lot from Dr. Dunston's lecture. I don't know if it was below the amount she wanted to give, but at least I received something.
