SUMMARY:Coffee stains\, cells receptors\, and time crystals: lessons from 
 the old literature - Ray Goldstein (DAMTP)

DESCRIPTION:A paradox of our digital age is that while we can access the o
 lder literature more easily than ever before\, all too often our focus is 
 only on the latest postings to the arxiv.  The purpose of this seminar is 
 to illustrate\, by means of a few key examples\, the benefits than can com
 e from reading the old literature.  My goal here is to be mentorial\, part
 icularly toward younger scientists\, to emphasize that the ability to ferr
 et out the origins of ideas is an important skill.  Besides being the righ
 t thing to do\, it can make for more interesting papers and seminars\, and
  can often reveal motivations that have been lost in time.  While I promis
 e not to embarrass anyone in DAMTP\, some others may wish to take cover.
