The Presidential Visit

There isn't much to elaborate on. The president's in town and going to some dinner in Harlem, resulting in the (partial) closure of the 125 St station due to security concerns.

Yep, he was in Manhattan, going from a series of interviews at AMNH to the NYCSEF finals to a fundraiser in Harlem. I was competing in the finals, as were a bunch of my friends; I got to shake his hand and one of my friends got to present his work to him! There's an article on it here:

Lol aren't you lucky? I participated in NYCSEF last year, and made it to finals, but Obama wasn't there last year. Best of luck to you and hope you make ISEF.
