Jean Pestieau

I've written before about this scientist. I met him because, as he told us, he rather teaches the children of workers and peasants, than the Cornell rich kids at Ithaca N.Y.

We intellectuals love to tell a romantic story of our lives. I wonder how much Jean believes that now. What I don't have any doubt about, is that he is a landmark for Theoretical Physics in Mexico, from his tenured position at the Catholic University of Lovain, he has done a lot of good.

If you are reading this, I salute you Jean.
