The grant establishes an endowed fund, “The Biogen Idec Foundation
Science Education Fund,” which will support programs that engage
middle-school and high-school students in activities that foster
interest and learning in STEM, and that also have the potential
to work with those of Biogen Idec’s Community Lab.
I went to a contemporary art fair in Shanghai recently, which was a real eye-opener. Chinese contemporary art has come leaps and bounds from the watery Zen landscapes to huge canvases of strange-looking beings. The prices being asked and paid were huge too.
ReplyDeleteOriental, if not Chinese, my print of Jean-Léon Gérôme's painting, http://en.wahooart.com/A55A04/w.nsf/OPRA/BRUE-8BWS6R, bought some time ago from wahooart.com, is as lovely as ever.
