Submitted by Donna Sternberg on Saturday, 07/05/2014 10:35pmThe gift of time becomes evident when you step out of your familiar routine. Time approaches the fluid state, evolving from the linear progression in which we normally view it. I have been given the gift of time while at a residency at Djerassi, the time to "just be".
The First Day
Submitted by Charlotte Jacobs on Saturday, 07/05/2014 8:57pmAt breakfast an engineer tells me about his plans to write a book on the science of art materials, observations that will influence the way many of us think about art. While hiking in some of the most beautiful hills in California, a poet, originally from Sri Lanka, explains how poetry can help heal the wounds of war. It gets me thinking of a new way to approach my patients who suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome. Over dinner, a geologist describes her work in Antarctica, studying the bacteria found deep in the ice-encrusted lakes and their amazing art forms.

Submitted by Margot Knight on Thursday, 07/03/2014 9:14pmLet the cerebration begin! I have only experienced 3 of the first 72 hours of Scientific Delirium Madness but the words and ideas and laughter are flying. A dream since I first took this job, since I first met Carl Djerassi (the Program's founder), since I first experienced the work of Nina Wise and Ralph Abrams vis The Kepler Story, I was overwhelmed by emotion during yesterday's orientation.
