On July 13, Pablo Hollstein and Jennifer Luce led a very special tour at the Salk Institute.  Architect  Jennifer Luce introduced a group of 30 visitors to Professor Lemke, and described the design process to create his personal study.

 Jennifer has been a member of the Board of Directors of the Harvard alumni Association for the last three years.
 
 Pablo is a post doctoral fellow who heads up that program at the Salk Institute. He described how the fellows program works as well as the range of research projects which go on at the Institute.
 
Harvard alumni and their guests enjoyed a delightful reception overlooking the Pacific ocean after the tour.











Rumor has it, that it was during a sabbatical in Assisi, Italy when Dr. Jonas Salk had the revelation of ‘just the right dosage’ for the Polio Vaccine. This experience was shared with architect Louis Kahn during the early design phases of the Salk Institute, which led to the inclusion of the studies that line the highly revered courtyard. Often used as a space for retreat, these studies are reserved for personal use by the top scientists at the Institute.  Please join us for a private guided architecture tour of the Salk Institute campus, which will also give us a rare look into one of the most intimately designed spaces used by some of the most brilliant minds in the country.  The docent-led architecture tour will be followed by a one-of-a-kind design tour of Prof. Greg Lemke's study led by Jennifer Luce, MDes '94, and remarks by Salk Scientists Prof. Lemke, Ph.D. and Postdoctoral Research Fellow Pablo Hollstein, A.B. '01, Ph.D. '09.  After the program concludes, please join us for appetizers and drink at the nearby Bella Vista Social Club and Caffé.

Date:  Friday, July 13, 3:00 p.m.- 6:00 p.m.  The docent-led tour will commence at 3:00 p.m.  Please plan on arriving by 2:45 p.m. to allow for parking and security check-in at the entrance to the Institute. 
 

Location:  Salk Institute for Biological Studies located at 10010 N. Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla.

Private Tour of Dr. Greg Lemke's Professorial Study with Harvard alumna Jennifer Luce, MDes.
