| Description: | Today, ASTRON organises a workshop in honour of Harvey Butcher, its departing Director for the last 16 years. The subject is "valorisatie", which might mean "assigning a value to scientific endeavour" (it is a Marxist term). This is a serious subject in this day and age, to be discussed exclusively by the Great and the Good. However, since it is also a subject that exposes the limits of human understanding more than most other subjects, it is good to keep things in perspective.
The above cartoon is not translated, because it would lose too much in that process (even the word "valorisatie" cannot be translated, really). |
