i just got back from a conversation with vandana shiva at herbst theatre. for many years, this woman has been a humongous source of inspiration for me--someone to look to for guidance and grace. she is an amazing activist, a brilliant scientist, a passionate environmentalist, a defender of women's and human rights, and a spirited author. her manifesto on the future of food and seed is a work of art, and i feel honored to have met her this evening.

i encourage everyone to learn more about her and her work:
