7/16 - Ben and Giulia, we miss you...
Ben Boussert and Giulia AdessoOne year ago today, my Berkeley labmates Ben and Giulia tragically passed away in a car accident along with another friend in the Chemistry department. Ben and Giulia were a big part of the Alivisatos group, and their memory remains strong with us at Berkeley. I deeply regret not being able to join the memorial service for them in Berkeley, but here from Australia, my heart goes out to Ben, Giulia, Jason, and their families.

“[T]he beholder feels an irresistible urge to search such a picture for the tiny spark of contingency, of the here and now, with which reality has... seared the subject, to find the inconspicuous spot where in the immediacy of that long-forgotten moment the future nests so eloquently that we, looking back, may rediscover it.”
-Walter Benjamin, qtd. in Michael Kimmelman, The Accidental Masterpiece, (New York, NY: Penguin, 2005), 49-50.
