I don't think any of my class today was familiar with what a "Vulcan Mind Meld" is. 🤔

I'm going to have to work on more contemporary references. 🤔

@ai6yr

I have lately had to explain to the undergraduate research students who Carl Sagan was.

@ai6yr

The students have lately still known about Frank Drake, if only because of his equation.

And they can meet Jill Tarter directly.

Few of them have seen "Contact", though.

@michael_w_busch Well, it's definitely an interesting moving target for me on what references students do or do not get! Surprised "Contact" is already not within their experience!!
@michael_w_busch Students don't get references/popular culture that my kids (just a few years out of college) get now...
