We explored Hammershlag and saw the prep for the Hot Ones session later this afternoon. The Hot Ones<\/a> is a Youtube sensation where the host Sean aasks famous people questions while he and they eat progressivly hotter hot suaces,,\u00a0 \u00a0I;d never watched it before now.. Its so fun !.\u00a0 \u00a0

Anywy Larry has started his own hot ones version where he or another faculty interviews soemwhat less famous people who are known to the ECEC crowsd and turns up the sauce. I’m the second victim. my good freind Anirduh was victim nuber one.. I love hot sauce.. so this is gonna be fun.. I got to see the sauces.. .. they have fancy names.. but I thin I can eat anythign ! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

after a quick lunch , I attended the ECE Advisors meeting which Diane explored our old stomping grounds. SHe went over to Fipps Conservatory and the Pittsburgh museum of natural history\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advisory meeting was great\u2026 As always, Larry was well prepared. It was great to see the progress that the department was making, including its campuses in Rwanda and Doha. When disturbing thing I saw was the drop off female applicants due to the changes in diversity rules. thats not soemthign I like seeing.\u00a0

We then took a tour of some of the laboratories and met some of the undergraduate and graduate students doing projects. Under Larry’s leadership, the department has focused much more on early and openhanded projects. I am so impressed. We saw independent design classes and got to the low-cost semi conductor fab that they’ve built\u2026 This is something that was actually pioneer by a high school kid who attended cmu

Then it was time for the hot ones\u2026 I walked over to set up. Always funny walking into an empty auditorium.

Larry showed up with his friend Vaiz also a professor in the department. Turns out that Vaiz was goign to be my interviewer.. and would be eatign the hot souce with me. Usually, this is done with chicken wings, but since both vice and I are vegetarians, we had some sort of very delicious cauliflower nuggets. They really were good.

  1. Larry did a really funny intro to me for the audience<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    then Vaiz started asking me questions. Before each question they introduced a new hot sauce that was hotter and hotter on the Scoville scale. I believe they started in the 10,000 range and ended at the 3 million range which technically probably isn’t food anymore. Smile\u2026 Doesn’t matter though I love it all.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    The questions were grea kind of funny questions about my past and advice to students and choices like me and choices. I would make a different way if I had to do it again\u2026Vaiz it was a great interviewer\u2026 And the delicious hot sauces made it really fun and easy.\u2026 I don’t know if the audience was happy that both of us had high spice tolerance because part of the show is seen people sweat and cry\u2026 I think in the end Vaiz was squirming a little, but I tell you I could keep going<\/p>\n

    And that was it\u2026 Believe it or not, though I was still starving. I felt like eating some spicy food!<\/p>\n

    We went back to Larry and Leah’s and had a great hang out. It was super nice..\u00a0
