It’d been a few years since I’d been to Harvard… Despite the fact that this visit wasn’t for a rager with my college buddies, I may have had just as much fun. Inspired people, plenty of coffee, and some serious nerding-out. My cup of tea.
As promised, here are a few of the highlights:
- Meeting all of you loyal readers, listeners, fans, and clients (you guys ROCK)
- Tequila and brotherly love with George Bryant
- Learning about squishface with Mira and Jayson Calton
- Talking Dartmouth, disorders, and drinking with Stefani Ruper
- Discussing how to take over the world with Ashley Tudor
- Crazy times in the Prius with the Paleo Parents
- Telling Mark Sisson he’s looking good as usual
- Being unable to wrestle off the legions of loval Robb Wolf fans to get a word in
- Meeting the hunter-gatherer himself, John Durant
- Pretending not to drink coffee with Dianne Sanfilippo
- Realizing that Ben Greenfield is way tall in person
- Telling Bill and Haley how much I think their website rocks
- Finally meeting the man himself, Gary Taubes
- Wishing I could squeeze in a single malt scotch with Richard Nikoley
- Talking about how vegans don’t have a chance with Mat Lalonde
- Officially shaking the hand of Dallas Hartwig (finally)
- Hanging out with Jude, my new friend from down under
- Being generally smaller than Keith Norris
- Manhug with Dan Pardi
- Wanting to hang in San Diego with Dr. Lo
- Catching up with Tony and Charissa (I won’t tell anyone you ate toast)
- Bumbling about brain science with Dr. Pendergrass
- Stealing salad with Shirley
- And telling Dean and Toad that they totally missed out
Looking forward to seeing you all again. We’re all privileged to be a part of such a passionate group of people doing their damndest to make the world a better place.
If you didn’t make it, you missed out. If you did, I’ll see you next year.
Cheers,
Abel
