Some of the coolest cycling jerseys ever!
The MIT cycling team is auctioning off two signed jerseys as a fund raiser. But instead of getting them signed by atheletes as one might expect, they’re signed by a pretty nifty collection of Nobel laureates and Turing Award winners who currently call MIT home. They’re auctioning off two jerseys via eBay (here and there), and the auctions end on 30 Aug. Both auctions are currently under $2, which is pretty darn amazing for a jersey signed by such luminaries. So go bid quick in support of both cycling and science!
The signatories are Wolfgang Ketterle (’01 Nobel Prize in Physics), Robert Horvitz (’02 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine), Ron Rivest (’02 Turning Award), Philip Sharp (’93 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine), and Jerome Friedman (’90 Nobel Prize in Physics).
Thanks to my wondrous sister (both a scientist and cyclist) for the pointer.
Now I’m off to hear the welcome speech for our new students, the first such speech (at least here) for our new Chancellor. Should be cool.
