One of the oldest and most prestigious societies,
The American Academy of Arts and Sciences, is housed in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Today, I had the opportunity to attend a lecture there. Frank Wilczek (Nobel Prize in Physics in 2004) talked about "The Modern Concept of Matter" and explained the impact of the recent discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC after a brief introduction by Jerome Friedman (Nobel Prize in Physics 1990). If you get the chance to visit the building take some time to read the (old) letters around the entrance wall written by the some of its famous members. Here are my pictures of the evening.
