Synopsys science fair
A woman at our table was a neuroscientist, who recently made a career transition and became a patent attorney, graduating out of Hastings. Another worked at Stanford and trained monkeys for a living (and I thought that only happened in the movies). What was I doing here? One guy worked for the FDA. Interestingly, they were all Doctors, and had scientific PhD-level degrees and careers in related fields. It was not long before I found myself surrounded by my friendly, fellow judges. One half was for judges, the other for the science exhibits. I was then seated at a table in a large, cavernous like room, perhaps around a football in length. But more on that in a moment.įirst I had to sign in as a judge.

The COO asked me, “Are you brilliant?” I waited for him to laugh, or show the slightest hint that he was being facetious.

(Side note: I took some interesting photos of an electric sports car that I parked next to today, you can read about that at the end of this post along with “exclusive” photos)ĭriving over to the Convention Center I recalled a job interview I had several years back for an executive role with a marketing and IT software company in San Francisco. It was a bit like ‘Jerry Maguire’ at times… did you know the human head weighs 8 pounds? How do they know this stuff? And… all of a sudden I didn’t feel too smart. I learned all this and a whole lot more when I took some time off this afternoon to judge in the championship rounds of the Synopsys Science Fair in downtown San Jose.
