(and there’s hundreds of these projects, in all kinds of areas!! if you’re in industry or nonprofit, please reach out to Patrick Beary to partner!!) it was held in the brand new Atkinson building!! (next to the Dairy Bar and Botanic Gardens!!)! I was so impressed by the natural design of the building (carpets look like moss on top of stone, the walls and ceiling look like trees, the windows look like rainwater, there’s even a wetland in the backyard!) congrats to Atkinson Center director’s David Lodge on his retirement, he delivered a wonderful lecture on Research Funding, from the inception of the National Science Foundation in 1940s to today! It’s important that research continues to get funded, so that it could lead to more real world impact!
