A shout-out to all the dads out there!! From those who carried small boulders for us and stuffed them in their pockets when ours were full, cracked them with a hammer, pulled them out of the washer, dealt with piles in the yard, fostered obsessions with dinosaur bones, fossils and sharks teeth, just took us out collecting or to a mineral show or museums- Thank You!
And to all the rock Dads who adopted all those lonely minerals and gave them loving homes- Thank You!
Happy Father's Day!!!

Hi 👋
I enjoyed your talk. Thanks.
Also, just so people are aware, much of what today is used in the UV world was first developed by pioneers around 1900 - namely Wallace Goold Levison who was an inventor out of Brooklyn, NY and should be credited with developing the first portable fluorescent lamp. He is often over-looked but he also invented the movie camera and (sorry Thomas Edison fans) should also be credited with the origination of what today we know of as motion pictures. (look at his work back in 1880s with animals and movement for proof he was doing development work 20 years before Edison).

Love the musical interlude!! Thanks D&T
