David Wilson is the founding director of California's enigmatic Museum of Jurassic Technology. The museum itself is a work of conceptual art, and its catalog includes a mixture of artistic and scientific exhibits that evokes the cabinets of curiosities that were the 18th century predecessors of modern natural history museums. Wilson's convocation address, titled "The Eye of the Needle," focused on an appreciation of human artistry and ingenuity on a microscopic scale, including an artist who carved a likeness of Pope John Paul II from a single strand of human hair and placed it within the eye of a needle.
