I’ve just arrived in Malaysia after spending the night in Shanghai to prepare to join my colleagues to lead a special session on the National Academy of Engineering’s Grand Challenges and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: http://www.weef2017.org/programme-speaker.php

 

This is an honor that I owe to a great friend and colleague, Dr. Christina White, who tapped me for this project, along with our collaborators, UNESCO’s Rovani Sigamoney (France), and Yevgeniya “Zhenya” Zastavker (Olin College).

So, as you might guess, I am finishing up a cup of black coffee, and am getting back to developing the slide deck for the talk. There will be more on this topic over the next few days. If you are at WEEF here in Malaysia, please come by to say hello!
