...play is an admirable attempt to integrate science and literature, but it quickly descends into an endless pun about uncertainty—as in Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle—which the play itself never quite cognizes. The work suffers from an overabundance of mere observations of the ways human behavior can correspond with anthropomorphic interpretations of QM. This method is inherently problematic; the physics can really only tell us the outcomes of experiments concerning the quantum world. At best it allows room to imagine what subatomic particles do, but that has nothing to do with what humans...
...feel from this exhibition is going to carry forward? What’s going to happen after the symposium leaves? I don’t think these issues should be forgotten.

You have something to say, you go out and find a way to say it. There is a means to meet...

The right to health care is one of its legacies, and a project that still resonates strongly today. And more locally, infection rates among men aged 18-35 are on a rise in Boston...
