Giant Diatoms
August 7th, 2009 by Ken Mankoff
I’m in Portland, OR, half-way through a two week Ice Sheet Summer Modeling School. It is educational and intense. Portland, OR is a very nice city. At least the section around Portland State University is. It is slow and green and calm and quiet. Which does not mean that the un-{slow,green,calm,quiet} New York City is not also very nice.
But where else can you walk down the street and see giant diatoms larger than truck tires?
