On the frontiers of brain science
30th March 2011
We haven’t mocked a Kennedy in a while, so I guess it’s time.
Until I read Howie Carr’s Boston Herald column this morning, I had missed the big news from Brown University. Former U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy has graciously accepted a two-year appointment as a visiting fellow at the Brown Institute for Brain Science, through the 2012-13 academic year.
Carr cruelly comments: “I guess the rocket-science school was full up. He is quite the scholar, of course.” Carr quotes Kennedy speaking on the floor of the House: ‘I myself have educated myself.'”
I haven’t mocked Brown (the Safety School of the Ivy League) in a while, either, so I guess it’s time for that, too.
