Preparing Educators to Prepare Tomorrow’s Workforce

hen Merodie Hancock became president of Trenton-based Thomas Edison State University nearly two years ago, she took leadership of an institution that has a different mission than most fouryear liberal arts institutions. Since its inception in 1972 (as Thomas Edison State College) the university has always been less focused on providing a broad-based education for students right out of high school

than teaching practical skills to nontraditional students, mostly adults whose careers are already underway. In today’s economy staying current with the rapidly evolving needs of employers has become a major challenge. At an upcoming meeting of the Princeton Mercer Regional Chamber of Commerce, Hancock will discuss how she is continuously updating the university’s offerings to meet that challenge, with the help of industry and higher education partnerships and technologyenabled learning. The meeting will take place Thursday, March 5, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Princeton Marriott. Tickets are $75, $50 for members. For more information, visit www.princetonmercerchamber.org. Hancock (U.S. 1, August 15, 2018) was one of 10 children, raised by an engineer father who served in the Air Force and went back to school to become an architect. Her mother received a master’s degree in social work while she was raising five children. The careers of both parents mirror the mission of TESU, which caters to service members as well as civilians in mid-career. Hancock, who earned an economics degree from Scripps, an MBA from Claremont Graduate

learn for Today: Thomas Edison State University president Merodie Hancock is focused on providing an education that benefits students who are already part of the workforce. University in California, and a doctorate in urban services from Old Dominion University in Virginia, began her career in adult education teaching classes at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Virginia Beach, where her husband was a military officer. For the rest of her career she has worked with adult learners, taking administrative roles at Central Michigan University, the University of Maryland University College, and State University of New York Empire State, where she was president from 2013 to 2017. TESU fits in with the rest of her career in its focus on adult education. “We are a liberal arts university,” Hancock says. “We have liberal arts, but we take a pretty practical approach to it.” For example, a

‘A traditional student is going into the workforce in four years,’ Hancock says. ‘our students are taking their new skills to work the next day. We have to be completely up to date.’ typical liberal arts curriculum for students straight out of high school focuses on developing critical thinking skills over specific job skills. At TESU critical thinking is taught in terms of how it fits into the day-to-day life of a nurse or a member of the military. “We have a liberal arts core, but it is a pretty pragmatic liberal arts core,” she says. Hancock says that because one of the main goals of TESU is preparing students for careers, a major challenge is constantly updating the curriculum to meet the needs of employers. “We are working with employers, looking at the data,” she says. “We are working closely with industry to identify what competencies really resonate and what they need.” Those skills have to be of immediate use, too. “A traditional student is going into the workforce in four years,” Hancock says. “Our students are taking their new skills to work the next day. We have to be completely up to date.” One of Hancock’s goals in speaking to the Princeton Mercer Chamber is to meet employers and encourage them to let her school know what skills they need to develop in their workforce, both now and what they anticipate in the near future. “We really need you to come to the table

Branding and Marketing for Small Business

mall businesses don’t have the resources to hire a big ad agency, but that doesn’t mean they should neglect marketing. Studies suggest about 60 percent of people prefer to buy new products from brands familiar to them. An upcoming workshop of Princeton SCORE will explain why small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs need to work on their brand from day one. Attendees will learn market assessment and be given steps for creating a marketing strategy, plan, and campaigns. The free workshop will be held Friday, March 7, at 10 a.m. at the Hopewell Branch of the Mercer County library in Pennington. For more information, visit princeton.score. org. Presenter Hemanshu Shah is an executive with more than 30 years of experience in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry. His experience includes research and development, strategic planning, business development, marketing, and investor relations. Shah has worked for American, German,

Hancock has also sought to form partnerships with other educational institutions. The university recently announced that anyone graduating from a New Jersey community college can apply for free to TESU and will automatically be accepted. “It’s a twoway investment that promotes community college students getting an associate’s degree, and it’s an outstanding feeder of really strong students into Thomas Edison,” she says. The “3+1 pathway” program allows students to transfer up to 90 credits of a 120-credit four-year degree from a community college to TESU.

Letters to the Editor

Run Free Ranch, Urban Promise, Ann’s Choice, Traditions at Washington Crossing, and the Present Day Club to name a few. Many came by the busloads. The performing arts scene is alive and well in Trenton. We at CPNJ can’t thank the attendees enough for their support that made possible the second highest attended CPNJ show since CPNJ’s initial concert, New Year’s Eve 2013. Part of CPNJ’s mission statement speaks to using the Capital Philharmonic of New Jersey as a catalyst for the redevelopment and renaissance of Trenton’s downtown. The War Memorial is the perfect home for the performing arts in Trenton; not to mention, it is an architectural jewel. Since CPNJ’s founding in 2013, it has been a tough slog, but Keith Spencer’s amalgamating with CPNJ gives us all hope that Trenton can be returned to its rightful place as an arts center. CPNJ is committed to the success of this mission. I direct you to www.capitalphilharmonic. org for more information. Again, thank you to all who made this breakthrough a reality. Gloria S. Teti Chair, Capital Philharmonic of New Jersey Editor’s note: For more on Teti and the CPNJ, see “Former Opera Singer Gets in Tune With Capital Philharmonic Orchestra,” U.S. 1, October 11, 2017.

Capital Philharmonic Brought Down the House

s biased as I may be, considering that I am the president of the board of trustees of the Capital Philharmonic of New Jersey, Keith Spencer, and his show, “Brothers on Broadway,” brought the house down, Saturday evening, February 22, at Patriots Theater of the Trenton War Memorial. 1,016 people bought tickets to experience Keith Spencer’s tribute to the many AfricanAmericans who have made it to Broadway. This show was a debut, of sorts, because it is the first time ever that this show was performed with a symphony orchestra — the Capital Philharmonic. An eclectic group of sponsors and patrons made up the audience. They were all colors, ethnicities, and ages. There were large representations from Shiloh Baptist Church, Union Baptist Church, Westminster Presbyterian Church, Ivy league Educational league, UIH Family Partners, First Tee of Greater Trenton,

with educational institutions and help us identify what skillsets are needed so we can constantly stay on top of it,” she says. In response to the requirements of employers, TESU recently added a doctorate in business administration program, a cybersecurity program, and an aviation program intended to enhance the skills of people who already have aviation training. (One trend in workforce education is to not only offer degrees, but ongoing courses designed to develop skills.) Hancock says that the university has a program for people in military nuclear programs to earn a nuclear engineering degree at TESU. She hopes to add programs in wind and solar power in the future.

Hancock says that in her talks with employers, she has heard a great deal of discussion about whether they want to require their recruits to have four-year degrees. Some companies have dropped the requirement for some positions, placing a greater emphasis on specific skillsets. Hancock believes that in response, the education system is going to break degrees down into “microcredentials” that certify training in different skills. For the time being, however, she says the four-year-degree is still “the coin of the realm” and the key to upward mobility for most students.

igher education has been a hot topic in the presidential race, with Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders proposing a program of student loan forgiveness and free tuition at state universities. Hancock isn’t sure that’s a good idea. “I have mixed feelings on that,” she says. “I am somebody that likes skin in the game ... I think when you get into college learning, you need to be invested. You need to be determined to get some return on your investment, and therefore you need the investment.”

However, she does see the value in making education more affordable. She says many TESU students are making too much money to qualify for a federal Pell grant. They often successfully increase their income by earning a degree, but student loans eat into whatever pay increase they receive. “Going from $60,000 to $75,000 a year is a big increase, but it’s not a meaningful increase in terms of having excess income,” she says. She says the college tries to work with students to keep the cost of a degree down, for example by turning work experience into credits . Hancock also plans to discuss the role of technology, not only in online learning, but several exotic technologies that might play a role in education in the near future. For example, there has been talk of a “universal transcript” using blockchain. “We see technology really impacting not just the ability to learn in different ways and get learning levels you need right away, but also how to communicate and match skillsets and match employees with employers in ways that are different than indeed.com or something like that,” Hancock says. — Diccon Hyatt

suggestions not only for fielding and responding to requests but also for training managers relevant to accommodations concerns. This session will also address other practical reasonable accommodations issues will work through common workplace scenarios to provide guidance to HR professionals. What New Jersey’s Medical Marijuana Program Means for Employers: New Jersey has amended its medical marijuana laws to explicitly require that employers accommodate registered medicinal users. This change will require a shift in employers’ substance abuse and drug-free workplace policies. This program will discuss the obligations on New Jersey employers, how to integrate these new requirements in your substance abuse programs, and exceptions to the requirement. This program will also discuss related topics and trends such as the use of CBD products and the potential for additional changes to marijuana laws, including recreational use and restrictions on pre-employment testing. “Can I fire my employee today?” and other tricky questions: This program will provide a glimpse of how HR leaders and employment counsel interact on complex HR questions and how this strategic teamwork helps manage employer risk. By role-playing with Human Resources Professionals (members of HRMA), participants will interactively discuss topics such as: medical leave where the FMLA does not apply; extension of FMLA leave as an ADA accommodation; dealing with mental health or substance abuse issues in the workplace; use of interim measures when a harassment complaint has been made; and “I need to fire this person NOW!” Speakers include Sherri Affrunti of Sherri Affrunti, LLC, and Vanessa Kelly of Clark Hill.

Book Looks Past Pretty Pictures to Everyday Wonders

by George Point

im Amon would like you to know that you’re living next door to a kind of miracle and the little miracles that are happening within it every day. The miracle is the central New Jersey region known as the Sourlands, 20,000 acres of forest, wetland, and grassland that lies within Hunterdon, Mercer, and Somerset counties. Largely spared from development thanks to its rocky landscape, the Sourlands serves as an enduring yet fragile refuge for a diverse population of plant and animal life; an island of biodiversity amidst a sea of Garden State sprawl. Protecting even a terrain as unsuited to development as the Sourlands is a constant challenge, and it’s that mission to which Jim Amon has dedicated his recently published book of photographs and essays, “Seeing the Sourlands.” Amon, 80, has devoted most of his life to promoting conservation and stewardship, a half-century of both paid and volunteer service to land preservation and to the education of others about the need to appreciate and preserve the beauty and variety of the natural world. That’s almost exactly the number of years Amon has lived in the Garden State. He and his spouse, Kathleen, currently call the river town of Lambertville home. There were a few twists and turns along the way before Amon found his life’s calling. Born and raised in a then-undeveloped area adjoining Cleveland, Ohio, Amon YOU GO recalls earning money as a trapper. “I actually had a trap line when I FOR RAMEN was in school,” he says. “I caught 50 to 100 muskrats every trapping

season and sold the pelts for $2 apiece to Sears & Roebuck.” But in those days Amon thought his true calling was in the world of academe. He studied history and philosophy, earned a bachelor’s degree in history at Ohio State, then drove his VW Bus westward, bound for San Francisco. He made it as far as Berkeley and decided to stay there. “I went to school at San Francisco State and got a master’s degree,” he says. “I thought at the time that I would get a PhD and be a college professor, but a number of circumstances came up, and that didn’t happen. One of them was that I got married and had a baby.” In need of a job, Amon was connected by a friend worked for a

The Sourlands serves as an enduring yet fragile refuge for a diverse population of plant and animal life. publishing house with an executive at Oxford University Press. Amon was offered a position with the New York office, prompting the move to New Jersey. When his stint at the publishing house had run its course, another friend came through with a serendipitous offer that completely redirected Amon’s career path, a temporary position as an assistant to the commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection until he found another job in publishing. “I did a number of special proj-

ects,” Amon recalls. “One of them was that the New Jersey legislature wanted to have a state-wide wild scenic rivers program. They wanted to do the river system in the Pinelands initially, so they told me to prepare a report and write the legislation for the program. Well, I’d never written legislation or done a study of rivers before, but they told me to do it, so I did.” Amon notes that at around the time of his rivers project, in 1973, the New Jersey state legislature passed a law designating the Delaware & Raritan Canal a state park, and enabling the establishment of a Canal Commission to oversee the park and a plan for its development. The commission hired Amon as its first employee. “The commissioner said to me ‘Don’t you think we should hire an environmentalist, or recreational specialist, or water specialist? A historical specialist, because the canal is on the National Register?’” Amon remembers with a chuckle. “And I said ‘No, you should hire somebody who knows how to find advice, and knows how to separate good advice from bad advice, and that’s what editors do, and I’m good at that.’ And they bought it!” Fast-forward nearly 30 years. “When I retired at 65-and-a-half I realized that I wasn’t tired of working,” he says, “and one of the things I realized when I was at the Canal Commission was that the state could only do so much for the canal, so I either promoted or in many cases formed historical or environmental organizations that would have a focus on making the canal park a better public resource.”

Amon joined with three other people (Rosemary Blair, Sam Hamill, and Bob Johnston) to form the Delaware & Raritan Greenway. He headed up the search committee that hired Linda Mead, the current executive director. “Linda was the director when I retired,” he says, “and I went to her and said, ‘Linda, remember when I gave you a job?’ (Laughs) And as it turned out, she was ready to have the first time ever Land Steward director, so I was hired as the D&R Greenway’s Director of Stewardship in 2004.” It was then that Amon began to acquire a deeper knowledge of the plant and animal life he had spent so many years helping to preserve. “I knew something about the natural world, but I wasn’t really an expert in anything,” he admits. “A friend of mine who’s a restoration biologist heard I’d taken this job with the Greenway and said ‘Jim, you know, somebody needs to know what plants are growing on the Greenway’s preserves, and that somebody is you.’ “At the time, Bowman’s Hill

So for about three years I attended Bowman’s Hill’s classes and learned how to identify trees in winter and all sorts of other things.” At the same time Amon learned that land stewardship — protecting water and air quality, wildlife habitat, and the natural beauty of preserved land — was a nascent practice in New Jersey. “I didn’t know what to do, and there was no one at the Greenway who could tell me what to do, so eventually I called the director of stewardship for the New Jersey Conservation Foundation and asked him, and he said ‘Oh, I pretty much make it up every morning’ so I thought ... OK! And that’s what I did.”

Amon also formed an organization called the Stewardship Round Table and invited anyone in the region who was involved in stewardship to meet and exchange ideas and information. “We ended up meeting quarterly,” he says, “and although I’ve retired, I’m pleased to say that the Stewardship Round Table is still meeting today.” So, how did Jim Amon’s interest in nature, his writing, and his interest in photography dovetail and ultimately result in his book, “Seeing the Sourlands?” “My interest in writing started when I was in college,” he says. “I took an expository writing class, non-fiction, and I was good at it. And so it encouraged me to continue.” Amon’s writing skills were put to good use at the D&R Canal Commission, and he was soon pressed into becoming the commission’s photographer as well. “There was no photo archive,” he recalls, “so if I wanted to put out a press release and have a photo with it I had to go out and take it. I took a class at Mercer County Community College, and that got me started looking at photography as an art and being much more serious about it than I had been in the past.” As Amon’s knowledge of the natural world deepened, he began to combine his writing with the photographs he took on his perambulations and began to write essays accompanied by his photographs that he called “The Native Plant of the Month” in an effort to educate others about the flora and fauna of preserved lands. After Amon left the Greenway and joined the board of the Sourlands Conservancy, a nonprofit focused on the promotion and preservation of the Sourlands. His photo essays, re-branded “Seeing the Sourlands,” became a mainstay of the Conservancy’s public aware-

ness effort. Amon began producing 14 installments a year, one per month via email and two more in the Conservancy’s semi-annual newsletter. The emphasis on “seeing” stemmed from Amon’s interaction with volunteer crews from companies doing public service work on preserved land. “I realized that it wouldn’t be enough for these people to just come and do some work for the Greenway,” he says. “I felt I should give them something back, some understanding of what they were seeing. And it was appalling to me when I found out that they weren’t ‘seeing’ it.” Amon cites an exchange with a young professional on one such crew, who asked him ‘Why do all

Amon’s words and images serve to entice those who have never visited to explore, and appreciate, the Sourlands. the trees look exactly alike?’ I thought, ‘They don’t, you’re not seeing them.’” The idea for publishing Amon’s photo essays as a book came after he had been at it for about five years. “The executive director of the Sourland Conservancy at the time, Caroline Katmann, said, ‘This has got to be a book’ and got a grant from Bristol-Myers Squibb and mounted a fundraising campaign to raise the rest,” Amon says. “The book cost more to publish than originally planned because Caroline had a wonderful outlook, that whenever there was a decision about the weight of the cover or the quality of the paper or how many pictures there should be, her decision was always to choose the best.

She was the driving force.” In the humble opinion of this reporter, Amon does not exaggerate; “Seeing the Sourlands” is one of the most attractively designed, beautifully printed, and informative books on the subject you are likely to encounter. The book consists of four sections: “The Charm of the Sourlands,” “Plants,” “Animals,” and “Principles and Other Issues.” Intended to educate as well as inspire, readers are not only treated to a visual feast of the creatures, plant life, and topology of the Sourlands, they learn about some of the everyday miracles that Amon has observed on his walks and learned through the extensive research that he has undertaken when preparing each essay. Although obvious to anyone who has spent time on the trails that crisscross the region, Amon’s words and images serve to entice those who have never visited to explore, and appreciate, the Sourlands. In his introduction to “The Charm of the Sourlands,” he points out that the beauty to be found here does not lie primarily in the spectacle of majestic vistas, but in the sights, scents, and sounds that must be experienced up close in order to be appreciated, like the sound of a wood thrush in spring, or the patterns of lichen growing on the boulders strewn about the landscape, as if dropped by a careless giant. The section “Plants” opens with the image of a towering shagbark hickory tree, a tree that Amon informs us can live for 350 years. His discourse on how trees like this magnificent specimen contribute to the Sourlands’ ecosystem impart a deeper understanding of how all trees native to the Sourlands, including sassafras, American Beech, white oak, and sycamore, play a role in supporting the wild-

life of the region and contribute to its diversity and beauty. So too with the other forms of plant life found in the Sourlands; milkweed, skunk cabbage, lichen, ferns, and so many more. Amon’s essays never fail to enlighten and occasionally surprise. Who knew, for example, that moss was the first vegetation to grow on land when the earth’s crust was being formed? Or that it could live as long as five centuries? The fauna of the region receive their share of attention and thoughtful scholarship as well. Yes there are beautiful images of the usual suspects: a beaver at work, an adorable Eastern Cottontail rabbit, a stately blue heron in flight. But Amon also invites us to see, perhaps for the first time, the beauty in creatures we may have simply overlooked or considered ugly: crows, vultures, and the ubiquitous mourning dove, whose beauty Amon opines is underappreciated because there are so darn many of them, around 350 million in the U.S. by some estimates.

Amon even asks us to take a fresh look at what many consider to be the scourge of forested land, the white-tailed deer. “One could say that this is a terrible animal that’s ruining the Eastern forest,” he says. “But it’s also an extraordinary animal. It can jump 30 feet, and it can run very fast, and I’ve never seen one stumble. What a skill! Let’s look at that.” The final section of Amon’s book, “Principles and Other Issues,” is perhaps the most important, and in concert with the images and essays that have come before, elevates “Seeing the Sourlands” to a category well beyond a book of pretty nature photographs.

Charm of the Sourlands

SPRING 2020 LECTURE SERIES

MARCH 6

Continued from preceding page

Here, Amon underscores the connectedness of all that’s gone before in his book, the interdependence of flora, fauna, climate, and landscape that make the Sourlands a unique and beautiful place. He cautions that it is also a place under constant threat, from invasive non-native species that upset the delicate balance between the plant life, the life cycle of insects, and the survival of both native and migratory animals that populate the region. It is here that Amon answers the “So what?” question that skeptical readers may ask, and hopes to transform the vision and inspiration he has striven to engender in readers of “Seeing the Sourlands” into a call to action to help preserve this unique oasis of natural beauty that is, for most of us, hiding in plain sight.

Do not disparage the treasures of the Sourlands. They are smaller than the treasures of grander landscapes, but they are no less beautiful. Excerpted from Jim Amon’s “Seeing the Sourlands.”

here are places in the Sourlands where you can see across the Delaware River and into Pennsylvania, and those views are lovely but they are not the prize that awaits visitors to the Sourlands. The great beauty of the Sourlands is in the particular, not the long view. The great joy of seeing – really seeing – the Sourlands is to see the loveliness of autumn leaves floating in a stream; or to hear a wood thrush in spring, calling from a spicebush thicket. It is to look for patterns in the lichenstrewn diabase boulders. It is to see a clump of Christmas ferns unfurling their blades in the early spring, each leaflet perfect; it is to see the wonderful play of shadows against the smooth grey bark of a beech tree in winter; it is to see how the yellow and purple of a dogwood tree’s leaves in autumn are mirrored by the yellow and purple of the goldenrod and New England asters growing beneath it; it is to see the acrobatic shapes made by a wild grape vine that has matured and broken free of the tree that it climbed when it was young.

recent treaty by the United States and Taliban in Afghanistan signals the end our nation’s longest war and the hopeful return of all American forces in 2021. Coincidentally, just as that news was announced, the Princeton-based Ragged Sky Press had already announced the publication of “Base Camp,” a new book of poetry by a regional writer who served in that war. Steve Nolan, of Newtown, Pennsylvania, is a licensed clinical social worker who spent 25 years as a therapist and 30 years in the military. In addition to serving as the chief of combat stress for Paktika Province in Afghanistan, he also oversaw a PTSD clinic for the Veterans Administration.

Public Radio. He is also the author of the Ragged Sky Press publication “Go Deep; Poetry,” created in partnership with the late area artist NJ DeVico. Noted Bucks County-based poet, critic, and activist Christopher Bursk writes that Nolan’s new book “explores the violence not just of armed aggression, but of crippling illness, his is not a book of rage, but of attention and love and persistence; that is to say, it is profoundly spiritual.” In the following selection Nolan reflects on the event that caused the war, the attack on the World Trade Centers on September 11, 2001.

presumably for self-defense. They have a somewhat medieval quality, like little castle turrets, and seem so out of place in this barren, hilly landscape but must surely bring great pride to those who built them. Last night a strange dream— a Christian fundamentalist in a stolen Piper Cub, comes over the hilltops and crashes deliberately into two of the “silos” where a group of Afghans hold an open-air bazaar. The locals scatter in horror as the plane disintegrates itself and the silos in a mini fireball.

assage Theater, Trenton’s only nonprofit professional theater, held its annual fundraising gala on Saturday, February 29, at the Trenton Country Club. The Leap Day event attracted 135 participants and was chaired by Passage Theater supporter Eileen Sinett, CEO of Speaking That Connects in Plainsboro, and honored Passage board president and former Mathematica vice president Judith Woolridge of Princeton and longtime Passage corporate supporter PNC Bank, with PNC senior vice president Joseph F. Whall representing the organization. The event brought in $48,000 and included a performance of 20th century musical theater classics. The guests artists were SJ Hannah, featured in Passage’s 2019 production of “Dauphin Island,” and David Joel Rivera, who appeared in Passage’s “The Real Life Adventures of Jimmy De Las Rosas.” They were accompanied by Nicholas Place. Also on hand was the Aaron Graves Trio to provide mu-

sic for the cocktail reception and silent auction. The annual fundraising benefit raises about 10 percent of Passage Theater’s general operating budget and helps covers the costs of artistic and educational programs, staff salaries, and maintaining theatrical equipment at the company’s artistic home, the Mill Hill Playhouse in on Front Street in Trenton. Other income includes ticket sales, individual donations, and grants. Passage Theatre was established in 1985 and has premiered new plays by both emerging and established writers, including internationally known Trenton-born playwright and screenwriter William Mastrosimone and Pulitzer Prizewinning poet and Trenton resident Yusef Komunyakaa. It also hosts an annual Solo Flights festival featuring new solo works. The next show in that series is “Mother (and Me)” performed by Melinda Buckley from Friday, March 20, through Sunday, March 22.

Creation Myths and the Dead End Reality of Injustice

efore viewing the exhibition “Hugh Hayden: Creation Myths,” at the Princeton University Art Museum’s Nassau Street outpost, Art@Bainbridge, through June 7, one should consider the history of the Colonial-era brick building. Now a contemporary art site, Bainbridge House previously served as home to the Historical Society of Princeton, and before that, of the Princeton Public Library. Predating those incarnations Bainbridge House had a darker history as the home of a slave-owning family. As recounted in these pages last year, 158 Nassau was built in 1766 by Job Stockton, a wealthy tanner and cousin to Declaration of Independence signer Richard Stockton. It served as lodging for members of Congress in 1783, and the Stockton family leased the building as home and medical office to Dr. Absalom Bainbridge who enslaved a man named Prime. The Princeton University Art Museum, which opened the renovated property in fall 2019, has set a first-year mission to pay homage to that history and play off the theme of shelter and the building itself, as well as broader themes at the forefront of our lives today, such as immigration and borders. Enter New York-based artist Hugh Hayden, who in “Creation Myths” reimagines the domestic spaces of the building through finely executed surrealistic sculptures. So meticulous is his woodworking — at the very top of his website he notes that his “favorite sandpaper is 60 grit ... sometimes 400 or 1000” — that one attendee at a recent Q&A asked the artist, “Is your work functional?” The work in question, “America,” made up of a warm wood dining table and chairs covered with large thorns is decidedly not functional — if anything, the thorns scare off function — and yet the carved detail of the sumptuous wood is indeed something one might lust after in functional furniture. In fact the table is modeled on the very table Hayden’s family gathered around in his childhood home, and he is commenting on the chasm between mass production and artisanal craft. “For me the kitchen table functions as a symbol of the American Dream — the nuclear family sharing a meal together at a round table where everyone has equal access,” Hayden wrote in Bomb magazine. “Only with ‘America’ this dining set is uninhabitable. Off-limits. The dream is now unattainable for a multitude of social and economic reasons.” He wanted to further investigate the idea of family in America; who is the dream open to? The table is “something you can look at but you can’t touch. It really is the American dream: the desire to participate in something unattainable.” Hayden worked with local teams including ranchers, landscapers, loggers, and students, collecting wood as a product of land management.

by Ilene Dube

Hugh Hayden, right, is making a statement with everyday objects in his Art@Bainbridge exhibit, including a dining table covered in thorns and cast iron skillets fused with African masks. Another work in the show, “Brier Patch,” is based on the tale of Brer Rabbit, a trickster who dares a fox to throw him in the briar patch. The fox does just that, but the rabbit was born in the patch and is adept at maneuvering in it, able to escape the fox. Hayden salvaged the wood from Christmas trees discarded on New York’s Park Avenue, imbued with the wealth that comes with that address. Even though this “classroom,” this place of learning, appears menacing with its aggressive branches, success in academia has been embedded into this segment of society. The “kitchen” of the house is empty except for a black pot rack from which hang beautifully seasoned cast-iron skillets. Walk closer and you see these frying pans have been fused with casts of African masks. It belongs to a series Hayden had begun before this exhibition, titled “American Food,” having a dialogue with the enslaved cooks who helped create American cuisine. Southern food, with its African American origins, is “the only true American food,” says Hayden. The cast-iron skillets are an important tool in that culinary tradition. He begins with new skillets, or with some that are more than 200 years old — possibly fabricated during Prime’s lifetime. “Many of the people who were cooking this food in the pre-Civil War years weren’t Southern whites but enslaved Africans and their descendants,” says Hayden. “This is thus a materialized remnant of the historical cooks who helped develop this cuisine. But this isn’t just African American culture, it’s American culture. They were creating something that has become seen as quintessentially American cuisine, so it’s not the story of just one group of people.”

For “Creation Myths” he worked with the PUAM’s collections to make a new selection of skillets, using both African art and also artists from other cultures, such as Gaugin and Modigliani — artwork that didn’t necessarily interact in history. He uses a 3-D scanning technology to replicate the surfaces of the museum objects, and then a 3-D sand printing technology to make the mold that is cast into the final object. “Just as you use many ingredients in the kitchen to cook, as an artist I use disparate artifacts to create new meanings,” says Hayden. His interest in food began while he was studying architecture at Cornell University, where he received his bachelor of architecture degree in 2007 and went on to design dining spaces for clients such as Starbucks. The architectural background is certainly evident in the engineering of his sculpture. It was also during that time he began what he calls “invasive food events.” In one, 21 guests sucked pureed macaroni and cheese and banana splits through crude snorkel-like tubes held in place by rubber bands; their hands were tied to the backs of their chairs. In another event, he used a bow and arrow to shoot white balloons hanging from trees from which fell roasted quail, landing on a table covered with a white tablecloth. The idea was to get people to rethink birds and eating.

his is part of the larger theme of his work: He draws from every day domestic objects “transforming things we take for granted.” As a viewer continues through the house into the “study,” a clawmachine arcade game can be played. It is filled with cotton bolls

that reference slave labor, and the room itself suddenly reverberates with its dark history. The casing for the game is a Chippendale-style highboy made of mahogany, an endangered wood. Wealthy people could afford such cabinetry because of slave labor, he says. Born in Dallas in 1983, Hayden — who during a recent visit wore a white baseball cap and wirerimmed glasses that rest low on his nose — could easily pass for a graduate student. His camo jacket serves as a reminder that he is a hunter; he collects feathers for his artwork and eats the birds, but he also connects camouflage with the blending in of assimilation. Since earning his MFA at Columbia (he continued to design stores for Starbucks while there), the soft-spoken Hayden has been in numerous exhibitions at the Whitney, MoMA’s P.S. 1, and the Shed, among others, and this is his third solo exhibition, the first in a museum. Of his upbringing, Hayden says he grew up in a “fairly integrated social and academic setting that was pretty comfortable.” The family lived near a protected greenway and enjoyed spending time outdoors — Hayden learned gardening and developed a passion for plants as a high school student. He went to an all-boys Jesuit school. “I was still this black guy in a pre-

dominantly white educational setting, but I’ve been in that setting my whole life. It was always this balance of blending in and standing out. I think all artists’ work is autobiographical in that it reflects your own opinions and experience. I’ve just evolved, but I’m the same person I was growing up.” Hayden channels his self-described OCD into meticulous craftsmanship. His love for plants has manifested into his working with wood and other natural materials, such as feathers and animal hair. Thorns appear on many of his works, such as a crib, a stroller, white ladders, helmets, and a map of the United States. He also seems to be telling us there’s something captivating about a thorn, to touch it and feel its prick. Like camouflage, thorns are a means of protection from predators. “A vine is a plant … that’s competing for light and grows up on the support of other trees, but also, to protect itself, it has these thorns as this other sort of expression of resistance or defense,” Hayden says. “For me the thorns are just another expression of that difficulty to inhabit a space. Which I feel — today and always — is a manifestation of these barriers that we create.” Hugh Hayden: Creation Myths, Art@Bainbridge, Princeton University Art Museum, 158 Nassau Street, Princeton.

rinceton University has restricted travel for students, faculty, and staff members, prohibiting them from visiting countries where the COVID-19 virus has spread: Mainland China, South Korea, Italy, and Iran. The university is advising anyone coming back from those countries to selfquarantine for two weeks upon their return. It is also recommending cancelling or rescheduling visits to Japan and Mongolia. “There is an understandably high level of concern as this virus spreads, and we are closely monitoring the evolving situation,” the university wrote on its website. “Beyond mainland China, several other countries are now reporting localized COVID-19 outbreaks.” The travel restrictions are aligned with travel health notices issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as the U.S. Department of State. The university policy allows exceptions “only in rare circumstances” and with advance permission, according to a written policy. Princeton University has sought to cultivate ties with China in recent years, and has operated an office in Beijing since 2014. The Princeton China Center is located on the campus of Tsinghua University and exists to support faculty, students, and staff studying or conducting research in China. Similarly, Princeton University Press opened an office in Beijing in 2017, to sell books on the Chinese market. (U.S. 1, February 7, 2018.) In a letter to the campus community on March 3, university president Christopher Eisgruber acknowledged that disruptions to campus life were likely. “We are bound to face significant inconveniences and disruptions in the days and weeks ahead. Public health situations like the one presented by Covid-19 are, by their very nature, unpredictable and constantly changing. We will continue to work with our local, state, and federal partners to prepare for and deal with new challenges as they arise,” he wrote. “Given the risks posed by the virus and how little is known about it, we will likely have to make some difficult choices as situations arise. Our top priority must be to support the health and wellbeing of our community as we continue to advance our teaching and research mission. Though we will try our best to minimize resulting burdens, I do not expect that we can eliminate them.”

Warehouse to Replace Shoppes at Hamilton

f a developer has his way, the Shoppes at Hamilton, a retail complex on Route 130, will cease to exist just shy of its 11th birthday, to be replaced by a large warehouse facility. Metrix Real Estate Services is looking to raze the site and build a 170,000-square-foot warehouse in place of the long-beleaguered shopping plaza along Route 130 North in Hamilton. The project is pending township approval. If the plan is approved by Hamilton Township, the only remnants of the Shoppes at Hamilton will be two pad sites at the front of the property, currently occupied by Berkshire Bank and Hamilton Tap and Grill. The bank and restaurant will both continue to operate despite the changes to the development. Princeton-based Metrix Real Estate Services purchased the center in September, 2019, becoming the third entity to own the property. Metrix managing partner Michael Nachamkin said the location attracted him — particularly for a warehouse — because it offered easy access to Interstate 195, opposite a FedEx distribution facility and down Route 130 from the United States Postal Service processing facility. The property is zoned industrial already, which means in theory there are few barriers for the developer to transform the shopping plaza into a 170,000-square-foot, multi-tenant distribution center. For comparison, that’s the size of three football fields or half the size of the FedEx facility across Route 130. However, township officials said there are still some aspects of the plan that need to be addressed before it can go before either the planning or zoning board. No time frame has been set yet for when it might reach a public agenda. Still, the project marches on. Metrix updated its website in January to say that “a retail to industrial and retail transformation” is “coming soon” to the Shoppes at Hamilton. Multiple sources with knowledge of the project said the new landlord contacted businesses in the plaza shortly after purchasing it, notifying them that they would have to find new homes in 2020. The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss the project publicly. Nachamkin contradicted this, saying many of the tenants had left or were planning to leave before he purchased the center. Metrix assisted business owners in finding new locations, and the first wave of businesses began to relocate in January. Just four suites remained occupied as of mid-February: Color Me Mine, Forever Hart Fit, The Little Gym, and Julie Nachamkin Artist Studio — a recent addition to the center operated by the wife of the developer. Sources said the retail spaces will be completely vacant by the start of May. Tenants at the Shoppes at Hamilton also formerly included Chico’s, Children’s Place, Clark’s, Loft, New York & Company, Rack Room Shoes, Sleep Number, and White House Black Market. Rumors had swirled for months about the fate of the complex, with the scheme to transform the Shoppes at Hamilton into warehouse being the worst-kept secret in town since it was first hatched in October, 2019. But, until now, neither the developer nor the municipal government had offered definitive

The Shoppes at Hamilton, which has struggled to retain tenants since it opened in 2009, was sold to a developer last fall who plans to turn the site into a multi-tenant distribution center. confirmation that the redevelopment was more than just rumors. The Hamilton Post, a sister paper to U.S. 1, had worked since mid-October 2019 to find an official source confirm or deny the Shoppes at Hamilton rumors on the record. Stoltz Management, the longtime owner of the plaza, did not return multiple calls for comment. Broker CBRE, which still is listed as the leasing agent on the Shoppes’ website, also did not return multiple messages. Two commercial real estate firms, when contact-

Metrix Real Estate Services is looking to raze the Shoppes at Hamilton site and build a 170,000square-foot warehouse in place of the long-beleaguered shopping plaza along Route 130 North in Hamilton. ed by the Hamilton Post in fall, 2019, could not find any record that a sale of the property had been completed. Former Hamilton Township economic development director Marty Flynn told the Hamilton Post he didn’t even know the center had been sold until a November, 2019, meeting with a tenant of the Shoppes at Hamilton. Flynn said it was there he learned that most of the businesses would be moving out of the center and into new locations in the coming months. Flynn said, at the time, that most of the demand in Hamilton and other municipalities is for warehouse space. “The market is dictating warehousing,” Flynn said in early November. “It’s a good, clean rateable, and we’re glad to have it.”

The developer has a similar project in Lawrence Township,

where construction began on spec last year of a 340,000-square-foot warehouse just off Interstate 295 on Princess Road. The warehouse now is clearly visible near Exit 68 of I-295, after construction crews raised the structure’s large gray exterior walls in February (U.S. 1,

February 5). And so begins the next chapter of the Shoppes at Hamilton’s history, which has been full of struggle from the start. Ground broke on the facility in early November, 2007, and it opened 18 months later, in May, 2009. The plaza had issues immediately, particularly due to a lack of direct access from Route 130 South. Customers on Route 130 South had to take a miles-long detour through Yardville and onto the highway’s northbound side simply to access the center. As a result, the Shoppes at Hamilton lost tenants quickly, including Italian restaurant Bensi, Nathan’s Hot Dogs, and two Asian restaurants in the first couple of years. Other original tenants, like fast casual restaurant Bok Bok Fresh, never opened at all. Business owners, including former Nathan’s franchisee Tom Park, had repeatedly asked the township and the center’s developer at the time, Stanbery, for a traffic light, saying it would improve the Shoppes at Hamilton’s fortunes. Stoltz Management acquired the center from Stanbery for $9.75 million in March, 2012, and agreed to foot the bill to install a temporary traffic light. A temporary traffic light was installed eight months later, in late November, 2012. That light was made permanent and a jughandle installed on Route 130 South in 2017, part of a deal made by FedEx in order to build a 340,000-squarefoot warehouse distribution facility directly across the highway from the Shoppes at Hamilton. The jughandle and traffic light allow access to the shopping center and the FedEx warehouse from either side of Route 130. But it did not visibly improve business for the tenants of the Shoppes at Hamilton. Should Metrix’s plan proceed, the junction would now serve as the main access point for trucks to the warehouses on both sides of the highway. The Shoppes at Hamilton property, located at 537-557 Route 130 in Hamilton, was last assessed for $8.75 million, according to public records. It has a tax payment of $315,111.68 annually.

Diccon Hyatt

he cover story of the February 19 issue of US 1 told the story of Needham (alternately spelled “Neadom”) Roberts, a young man from Trenton who joined the famous Harlem Rattlers regiment and won the Croix de Guerre from the French military for valor in a battle against the Germans in World War I. The story was based on written sources as well as an interview with Algernon Ward Jr., a re-enactor at the Old Barracks museum who portrays Roberts as well as other African-American soldiers from history. The article told the story of how Roberts joined the Army, deployed to France and fought bravely, then returned home to a nation that did not recognize him and other black soldiers as equals. Roberts was able to earn money by making public appearances telling tales of his exploits together with fellow medal-winner Henry Johnson, an Albany native who fought in the battle alongside him. Following Roberts’ return home, his life fell apart, and he committed suicide after being accused of assaulting a young girl. The story inadvertently illustrated the difficulties of reporting the details of a hectic battle more than 100 years after it happened and provided a window into how the facts of history are constantly being revised as new information comes to light. Firstly, there was an error on the part of U.S. 1. We reprinted a photo that is widely published and misidentified as being of Roberts and fellow soldier Henry Johnson. In fact the photo is a portrait of two soldiers whose identities are not known. After the story was published, a relative of Ward’s, Gilbert Wayne

Thompson Management

Hedgepeth, wrote to dispute several other details in the story. Roberts was Hedgepeth’s great uncle by marriage. Hedgepeth, a Trenton native who now lives in Los Angeles, says he spent years researching the life of his war hero great uncle to write a book, “African-American Heroes 1776-1919: The Story of Sergeant Neadom Roberts,” published in October, 2019. (U.S. 1 was aware the book existed but was not able to obtain a copy of the book before the article’s deadline.) One line in the article was a mistake on my own part: The article incorrectly stated that Roberts

The date that Roberts joined the Army is disputed. Hedgepeth says he obtained official records that state he joined the 15th NY Provisional Infantry Regiment on June 16, 1916, months before the United States joined the war, and when Roberts was only 15 years old, having apparently misrepresented his age to get into the Army. Ward found a discharge document for Roberts in which is enlistment date is given as March 30, 1917, just before the United States entered the war on April 6, 1917.

Either way, it was before war was declared, which means that the popular telling, that Roberts joined the Army at the start of the war, is not quite correct: He either joined well before or just days before the U.S. declared war on Germany. The exact date is relevant to the question of why Roberts picked the 15th NY Provisional Infantry regiment out of all the possible units he could have enlisted with. Ward, in his retelling of the story, speculated that Roberts chose to join the “Black Rattlers,” so-named because of one of their insignia, because the unit had a famous military band led by James Reese Europe, a celebrity ragtime musician who would later be credited with helping introduce jazz to European society. Europe joined the Rattlers on September 19, 1916, and subsequently formed a band, which boosted the Rattlers’ recruiting efforts. If Hedgepeth’s documents are accurate, this theory cannot be true because Roberts would have joined before the band ever formed. In explaining how Roberts came to join the Rattlers, Ward relied on Roberts’ own account, which he published in a pamphlet after the war, “Brief Adventures of The First American Soldiers Decorated In The World War As Told By Neadom Roberts.” Roberts explained how he funded his travel to New York to join the Army: “Soon afterward my father sent me to city hall to pay his poll tax; instead of paying the poll tax I kept on for New York City.” There is one problem with Roberts’ account: New Jersey was not among the states that ever required citizens to pay a “poll tax” in order to secure voting rights. Ward says he did not check the validity of this account, taking it at face value since it came from Roberts. Hedgepeth takes harsh exception to the poll tax story, even though it originated with Roberts himself: “The theory that Neadom or Needham Roberts stole money from his father, which is a serious allegation by itself, is also a negative assault on the character of Neadom Roberts, it implies that he was thief and a liar to his own father. In accord with family norms and traditions Neadom Roberts was raised to respect his parents at all times. The negative information listed in your article about a national war hero is shameful and it is an injustice and cannot be tolerated,” he wrote. Hedgepeth also says his research revealed that Roberts went to New York with his parents’ permission to live with his brother, Norman Roberts. Hedgepeth also disputes one part of U.S. 1’s description of the battle during which Roberts earned the French military honors. He and fellow soldier Henry Johnson had been assigned to French command and had been stationed at an isolated listening post on French lines, when German raiders attacked. Roberts was wounded, but he and Johnson continued to fight against around 20 attackers, killing at least four and wounding several others before the attackers retreated. In retelling this battle, I took a detail from an article on the attack published in Smithsonian Magazine and several other sources, stating that the battle commenced after Johnson heard the Germans using wire cutters. Other sources say that the two soldiers both heard the approaching enemies. Hedgepeth quoted an after-action report by Roberts’ commanding officer, Major Arthur Little,

that credits Roberts, not Johnson, with hearing the clippers: “As the enemy patrol made its way cautiously through the field of wire that protected the rear of Number 29 from rushing tactics, some slight sound (probably that of the functioning of a wire clipper) arrested the attention of Private Needham Roberts, on guard at the east side of the enclosure. Roberts slipped over to the other side, and, cautioning his partner of the relief, Private Henry Johnson, for silence, led him back to the spot where the noise had been heard. Together the boys listened and peered. Presently that sound was repeated.” The Germans threw a grenade at the Americans. The blast stunned Roberts, and Johnson fought the Germans bitterly in hand-to-hand combat, with Roberts contributing by throwing grenades. At one point the Germans attempted to carry off the unconscious Roberts, but Johnson saved him.

he telling of the details of the battles changed even during the lifetimes of Roberts and Johnson. Ward said that as the story was told and retold, the number of Germans kept increasing. He said that Roberts and Johnson quarreled over who did what in the battle, with Roberts going so far as to claim that he saved Johnson instead of the other way around. “I find the above statement to be completely erroneous,” Hedgpeth wrote. “In all my investigative research, reviews, and documentation as well as any accounts that my aunt shared with me, not once did Neadom Roberts (Needham Roberts) ever claim that he was the one who saved private Henry Johnson during their historic battle. In fact, it can be found in my book ... where it describes in great detail Neadom Roberts’ personal account of his role during the historic battle. The document is titled: ‘Brief Adventures of the First American Soldiers Decorated in the World War as told by Neadom Roberts.’ In this document not one time does Neadom Roberts ever claim that he was the one who saved private Henry Johnson.” Ward responded that his retelling was based on documented sources: “Without diminishing the heroic actions of both men on May 15, 1918, the public exposure in the aftermath of their battle inevitably

This photograph of two unknown World War I soldiers has been frequently misidentified as being of Johnson and Roberts. led to a rivalry between the two,” Ward wrote. “Not only did the number of German soldiers they vanquished grow with each re-telling of the story, so did the role each played in the encounter. This rivalry was exacerbated by accolades and press accounts that inflated almost every aspect of the incident. It was not helped by the contest between supporters in Albany and Trenton which sought to elevate ‘their guy’ above the other. “In the account Neadom Roberts gave in his narrative ‘Brief Adventures of The First American Soldiers Decorated In The World War As Told By Neadom Roberts,’ pages 6-7, he killed 10 Germans and Johnson only two. Nor did he mention that he had been rendered unconscious and rescued by Henry Johnson from the grasp of the Germans as cited in the dispatches by both the French and American descriptions the battle. “Henry Johnson, ever willing to give a ‘good story,’ sought to go one up on Roberts on several occasions. This competition is recalled in greater detail in ‘Harlem’s Rattlers and the Great War’ by Jeffrey T. Sammons and John H. Murrow Jr., pages 466-473. I can’t point to any direct quote from Roberts stating that ‘he had saved Henry Johnson’, but by inflating his role in the fight, the insinuation was certainly made. It is never my intention to misstate the facts, so if I attributed such a statement to Roberts it is a mistake that I will not repeat. The true story is good enough on its own account without embellishment.” The story of Needham Roberts is worth remembering, even if our understanding of the details may change based on the work of researchers. I am confident that Hedgepeth and Ward are both trying to tell this story as truthfully as possible based on the most reliable sources they can find, although arriving at a definite conclusion may not always be possible.

Baby Boomers Seek “Best of Both Worlds” Retirement Plan Springpoint Choice Offers Unique Option

retirement who wants to protect their assets, retain the savings they’ve worked so hard to build and have guaranteed future care.

any older adults who are weighing their retirement options want to remain in their homes for the foreseeable future—forever if possible. While aging in place is desirable for many people who would rather not live in a community setting, the issue of healthcare looms large—and rightly so. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reports that approximately 7 out of every 10 people who turn 65 can expect to use some form of long-term care during their lives. According to Genworth Financial Inc., an S&P 400 insurance company that focuses on financial solutions for long-term care, the 2018 New Jersey state median care costs range from $54,912 a year for a home health aide to $142,350 a year for nursing home care and these figures will continue to rise. Generally, neither health insurance nor Medicare covers these expenses. This is why having a plan is crucial for anyone approaching

U n oi

One plan that’s gaining traction as an excellent best-of-both-worlds retirement care option for adults ages 55 and older is called “continuing care at home.” It allows members to remain in their current homes, receive personal assistance, protect themselves from escalating long-term care costs and have access to first-class senior care when needed. One such continuing care at home program is now available in New Jersey through Springpoint Choice, operated by Springpoint, the Mid-Atlantic region’s premier nonprofit senior care provider for over 100 years. The Springpoint Choice program pairs members with personal care navigators dedicated to providing the one-on-one attention that helps seniors age in place and remain at home longer. Members enjoy the amenities and activities available at any of Springpoint’s eight continuing care retirement communities located throughout New Jersey and Delaware. They can participate in LivWell, Springpoint’s award-winning health and wellness program. This program is aligned

with HHS recommendations for healthy aging that include staying active, staying connected to your community, eating well, understanding mental health, and attending to brain health. Because life is unpredictable, it’s a great comfort to know that if members need rehabilitative care, home care, assisted living or a more permanent skilled nursing or memory care living arrangement, they have access to Springpoint’s network of long-term care services. To enjoy Springpoint Choice membership, the eligibility requirements include: • Minimum age 55 • Living independently • Completion of application process • Completion of health screening • Adequate medical insurance coverage If you are interested in remaining in your own home for as long as possible while securing a smart plan for your future that protects your assets and addresses any future long-term care needs, call 866-778-3255 or visit springpointchoice.org to learn more. It’s your journey, your choice.

duction today and used mostly by hospitals. In 1958, he took a leave of absence from the Institute and moved to La Jolla, California to join General Atomic’s “Project Orion,” working with forty scientists to design an atomic spaceship capable of riding a wave of controlled nuclear pulses into deep space. Dyson recalled the fifteen months spent on the short-lived project as “the most exciting and in many ways the happiest of my scientific life.” The ambitious project had once set its sights on “Mars by 1965, Saturn by 1970.”

of an

yson was engaged in the public debate regarding the nuclear test ban treaty and whether or not an exception should be made for purposes of experimentation. In 1960, he was elected to the council of the Federation of American Scientists, and selected as its chair two years later. From this post, he became an effective advocate for the creation of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, which existed until 1999 when it was merged with the U.S. State Department. Dyson’s work with this newly created agency gave him greater opportunities to examine the potential consequences of a nuclear war. Concluding that further nuclear testing was “wrong technically, wrong militarily, wrong politically, and wrong morally,” Dyson testified before the U.S. Senate in favor of the nuclear test ban treaty in 1963. Dyson continued to educate the public on important questions of science, becoming a highly soughtafter lecturer and frequent contributor to popular scientific publications on a wide variety of topics, including the relation of science to religion, the prospective colonization of the solar system, harnessing the energy of stars, and climate change. Dyson produced a steady stream of books geared for the scientifically curious among the general public, beginning with Disturbing the Universe (1979) and ending with Maker of Patterns (2018), which is an autobiographical account of Freeman’s life through letters written to his parents. For his contributions to science, mathematics, and public policy, Dyson has been honored with over 20 honorary degrees and has been elected to numerous learned societies.
