I sent it by mail runner back to Berkeley, and we did reach the summit of Everest on October 15, 1976 for the bicentennial, and then the next January our paper was published in "Science." And I always include the title of this paper in my talks, because it really says what our Institute is now doing.
One of the classical locations. This is a nice one. If you're interested in chocolate and coffee coming together, go to Torino. They have invented, 200 years ago, the drink called the Bicerin, which is a combination of chocolate, espresso and milk. It's wonderful. Everywhere you go in Torino, people will give you or that's the main thing, this Bicerin, that Bicerin. My wife enjoying. This is in the cafe that the original Bicerin Cafe in Torino. So it's a

So we set out to try to understand, where do those fluctuations come from? And we built a telescope called BICEP to do it. The theory underpinning why there should be fluctuations, the leading candidate theory is called inflation.
So a couple of the lessons that I think are important, just to kind of wrap this up, is that one is that action is a muscle. So just like some people exercise their biceps, not me, but some people, you can exercise your action muscle. And it's a matter of working to say, OK, anytime I have an idea, what is action that I can take right away?
the Olympics and the Empire games and was savagely attacked by a shark at the height of his swimming career it ripped out the muscle in his bicep and destroyed his swimming career um so um you can imagine being 21 years old and boom your life as as an athlete is is done and kind of you disfigured but he

This object has about 100 or so cells, and it will later evolve into somebody. And I thought it was kind of cute that the BICEP, you know, you guys go down to the gym here, you work on the BICEP, that's the muscle that
He wrote a book on his stumbling into meditation. It's called "10% Happier." He refers to this cycle as bicep curls for the brain. So it's just fine to forget and remember, because then you get to do all that and rest freshly in this peaceful, abiding meditation
The products usually aren't made by brute force. The unit of energy or where it lies is not the bicep anymore. It's the brain. We designed it in our heads.
So we ended up finding sort of our hero at Bletchley Park in Nettlebed, which is just off of Henley. And we did the exterior huts up around Bicester. And then we did some of the interiors that we could at Bletchley.
So Everest was climbed by Americans in '63. This was '76, the bicentennial year, and no American woman had ever eve tried Everest, and so I had this terrible choice. Did I write the paper about the cancer causing pajamas, or did I climb Mount Everest.
There's a chapter on-- anybody here from Google Geo? So Santa has two words tattooed on his two biceps, in the vein of the love and hate guy.

I can think of maybe three or four months along the way where They pick up their five-pound pink dumbbells and do bicep curls 'cause they're scared of getting too big. I'll tell you, Staci is dead lifting 315 pounds, putting weight on, and
Mastra ho. Thank you. Normally, you can see my biceps. But yeah.
And they were done because of what he wanted to see, and that's a theme that runs through our cosmology to this very day and sad to report, affected us, on my project called BICEP that I'll talk about. So Galileo made this blunder.
This object has about 100 or so cells, and it will later evolve into somebody. We used this instrument here, called it BICEP.
this specific decade for for the show I know there was a lot of inspiration that came from a show that then there's they're accented by all of the other amazing abs and biceps that

With his neck in the crook of my left arm, I cinched with all the force my biceps could produce, cutting the blood off to his brain
This object has about 100 or so cells, and it will later evolve into somebody. And in such a case, it can actually orient to produce the exact swirling, twisting, curling pattern that BICEP was designed to measure.
