Penn State | Meetings

Delighted to meet with interim provost Justin Schwartz on his third day in office. We had a good discussion, including how my work with the Penn State Institute for Computational and Data Sciences and Penn State Dickinson Law‘s Intellectual Property Law & Innovation Initiative might contribute to university goals and better engage faculty across its disciplines in the coming year and beyond.

Also met with IP clinic director Jonathan D’Silva and Happy Valley LaunchBox Entrepreneurial Cog Connector Jason Huber. LaunchBox is a one-stop shop for the community to get no-cost legal advice, co-working facilities, programs to help startups, and more (see: https://happyvalley.launchbox.psu.edu/). Grateful to them for giving me a personal tour of LaunchBox. Caught up with Professor John Lopatka for lunch. John is one of the nation’s leading antitrust scholars and serves as A. Robert Noll Distinguished Professor of Law at Penn State Law. Finally, my day’s meetings ended with Professor Trent Jaeger, a cybersecurity expert. We are collaborating on a podcast on current cybersecurity issues scheduled for later this year. Stay tuned!
