Why I want to study at UVM

I first heard about John Todd's work years ago in regards to his Living Machine designs and I've been impressed by what I've heard about him ever since. The fact that he works and UVM is one of the reasons I've seriously considered it as a place to go for my (as yet theoretical) grad studies. So seeing this story makes me even more interested. I just hope he's available to teach for many more years, I know he's getting older...
