AI6YR BenI 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. 🤔
Michael BuschI have lately had to explain to the undergraduate research students who Carl Sagan was.
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!!
Over the last decade, "Contact" has been largely replaced in the cultural reference space by "Three Body".
