WIN an exclusive quasicrystal tie or scarf to celebrate the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry!!!
This is your chance to get hold of a limited edition Quasicrystal tie. The tie was Commissioned by Technion President Prof. Peretz Lavie for Distinguished Prof. Dan Shechtman on the occasion of his 70th birthday in January 2011. When the phonecall came from Stockholm in October 2011 informing Technion of Shechtman's receipt of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the tie was rushed into use.

ReplyDeleteThere once was a professor named Dany
ReplyDeleteWhose persistence and drive were uncanny.
Although his crystals were quasi,
His research was classy;
And he received the Big Prize (and the money!)

If i win the tie :
ReplyDeleteit will be a proof I should always :
"BE TIEd TO my BELIEVES, TRUTH and DISCOVERY".
אלבוש אותה בכל פעם כשארצה להזכיר לעצמי, שלפעמים העולם כולו יכול לטעות, אבל אף פעם לא פרופסור מהטכניון... ולכן אסור לוותר על האמונה בדרך
