Back to the Future

For the past six months I have been visiting some of the top research labs in the world, meeting with the people who run them and learning all that I can about the work they are doing. It has been an intensely fascinating journey. Prior to I had not grasped just how much progress science has made lately into our understanding of the world and ourselves. Every place I visited and every person involved that I talked to helped open my eyes to some of the truly incredible progress that has been made.

I want to keep going and keep sharing what I have come across with anyone who is interested. I want to help shed light on some of the remarkable things happening in science and technology and foster sorely needed discussion as many of these advances will fundamentally change society and the way each of us choose to live our lives.

Below I have put together a tentative list of the places and conferences I want to visit in the upcoming year. This list is still very fluid, if you know of any places I should go, conferences I should attend or people I should meet feel free to let me know.
