Mailing Lists

I have my Brandeis email forwarded to my King's College account, which provides me with a few extra irrelevant emails to delete each day. Some of them are mildly entertaining, however, like the time I read that all classes had been cancelled and buildings closed for the afternoon due to the storm, which confused me for a moment before I realized that the email was from Brandeis and not King's.

There have been a couple of announcements over the past few days that I've also found amusing, like the following statement from a description of an upcoming conference:

We are lucky to have as our key note speakers Professor Mary Baine Campbell (English Department, Brandeis University), and Professor Marina Leslie (Northeastern University), both of whom are doing wonderful work in the field of Utopian studies.

"wonderful work in the field of Utopian studies"... :) Even better, they sent out an email this morning warning of the commencement of construction on a new science complex. The subject of the email was "Blasting and Excavation for Science Project to Begin March 12", providing delightful images of lab slaves (chemistry grad students) with rather heavier equipment than usual.
