Industry committee  I think the description that you were given is a great one. I think that system works well. Essentially what I'd like to bring to it are two core concepts. One of them is that, as Graham was saying before, some of us are in generations and there are things that we have no clue

Industry committee  I would like to support that statement 100%. With Rector Alan Shepard we organized two innovation conferences, board meeting level and invited executives.

Industry committee  I get excited too quickly on these subjects, as you can tell. I think Vince said something really important, and so did DMZ. DMZ almost invented this concept in Canada. It's the fact that today most hardware prototypes require less than $5,000 to build. I told you about that gu

Industry committee  The first and most important thing that I do is I realize that I don't know. Probably the most important thing that happened to me in that context personally is I realized that I didn't know what I didn't know. We can have a really lengthy conversation about this over a beer one

Industry committee  There is a vocabulary, and it's 100% what they just said. I can tell you the researchers in their brain frame right now see District 3 as a competitive place. Do you know why? Because the graduate students that they want to produce papers are no longer producing papers, but the
