If you, like me, have been waiting to hear an engineer’s take on April 30th’s MacArthur maze collapse, check out the John A. Blume Distinguished Lecture Series on Friday. Dean Frieder Sieble from UC San Diego’s School of Engineering will give a talk entitled “Protecting our Infrastructure Against Natural and Man-made Hazards.” I assume there will be some talk of the maze.
