Upcoming Studies and Speakers

Last week David Finegold — Dean of the Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations — visited to interview Mary Ann and me separately on our expectations for a study on employee ownership we recently funded. The study starts soon, and we expect results within the next few months.

I hope to attend an upcoming Xconomy Forum on the subject of Physics for Future Presidents. Former San Diego Union-Tribune reporter Bruce Bigelow is the Editor of Xconomy San Diego. The speaker — physicist Richard A. Muller — plans to “challenge conventional wisdom and debunk popular myths about energy, cleantech, electric cars, global warming, counterterrorism, and the future of technology.” The forum will be at the UCSD Institute for the America’s Complex on Monday, February 9, 2009 from 3:30 to 6 p.m. This should be an interesting event and if you’re in the area, it might be worth your attendance.
