Today is Bob's 63rd birthday. This is when I usually focus on celebrating Bob and his legacy. I often post about the Robert C. Millikan Cancer Epidemiology Seminar and the latest awardee of the Robert C. Millikan Cancer Epidemiology Award. But this year, everything is upside down. The Millikan Seminar was canceled due to COVID-19, so I did not make my annual trip to Chapel Hill, NC. I struggle to know what to write.
A question we keep asking within our family is, "What would Bob say?" Bob's scientific knowledge was something we relied on. So was his compassion and humor. Bob was a great person to talk with. He cared deeply about humanity, social justice, and the land. His office was full of quotes and sayings taped haphazardly to the wall. Sometimes if I was going through hard times, he would send me poems, including ones he wrote.
In that spirit, I want to share with you a video of a piece of mine, Choro, that was Covid-canceled just days before its premiere. I hope it brings you cheer in these difficult times.
Happy Birthday, my dear brother, Bob.
