At a recent talk, a colleague from the Exploratorium asked me a very simple question.

It's a question whose answer eluded me from the day I registered eight months ago through the first few days of the conference this week.

The conversation with Yeshi is “smart,” meaning that she asks and answers questions with a variety of images, maps, text, and videos.
