LinkedIn periodically sends me an email with a list of links that it thinks I might be interested in. I received one such today with a number of links to articles that I thought were relevant to this blog.The first links to an article written by Jeffrey Immelt and his thoughts on the future of productivity and the economy. Of particular interest to me was his take on reversing the trend of outsourcing and its detrimental effect on core competency. He also points to what I find is the compelling use of 3D printing as an advanced manufacturing process rather than how it is normally used as a design modeling tool.
The second covers some of the benefits of working at a coffee shop. All of us in academia whether faculty, staff, or student know how changing up an environment can support a particular effort or project. I took the photo above inside one of the coffee shops on campus that I frequent most often.
And the last is about the connection between the arts and science in education which is essentially what this blog is about, especially when you look at the nature of my work. Here below I provide links to these online articles.
