Washington DC | City on a Hill

As the heart of government in the world's only superpower, Washington, DC, has to be at the center of our collective efforts to address the challenges we face nationally in making innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship more inclusive, designing smarter economic strategies that make us more competitive, understanding when national security risks matter and when they should not, finding new ways to bring coalitions and alliances together to confront the hard truths of access to health, meeting sustainability goals, and more. The city has a pivotal role to play in finding solutions to problems, both old and new. America's rules-based, multilateral framework laid the foundation for generations of peace and prosperity at home and abroad. It is not too late for leaders from across the innovation ecosystem to apply their minds and talents and boldly reimagine what they can do together. That city on a hill can be a shining example to the world once more. Thank you to those who met with me to share their ideas, to help me better understand the important work they do, or simply pause to say hello. Collage 1: Koren W.

Research & Innovation Faculty & Staff Roundtable | ‘Connecting the Dots: From Ideas to Impact’ Student Dialogue

Delighted to be back with my fellow co-hires at the Penn State Institute for Computational and Data Sciences (ICDS) retreat.

As you can see from the slide, ICDS exists at the intersection of #diversity, #AI and #datascience, #digitalinnovation, #computationalscience and #prediction, #datasecurity and #privacy law, #infrastructure, and #industrypartnerships. The mission of ICDS is an important one and can be challenging to fulfill. Scholars approach AI and big data questions differently, but partnerships like ours are essential to a building shared and sustainable future that is approaching us more quickly, with more exciting possibilities and with the prospect of more disruptive change than ever before. Looking forward to what we can accomplish together.
