It takes up more room than the actual article itself. Want to introduce the subject of this next session which is this booklet here. Its called transform which is very beautiful and its about an initiative that we were privileged to fund called exploring innovation frontier. I want to give a shout out to promote the head of our engineering director at the time a few years ago when we made the decision to fund this. He has gone on to uc irvine where he is a vice chancellor for research. During this time there have been several workshops around the country and ill say a few words about that and then you will hear from two of the people that were greatly involved in those workshops more about this. Let me make now that ive kind of introduced the subject of basic research, leading to innovation and leading to engineering applications, let me make some formal remarks. I will just begin with the quote from our inspiration of the National Science foundation who believed that there must be a s
We are seeing american expectations is reflected in this university of michigan report an eightmonth low. Economists were looking for reading of 94 even. That is a decrease from the number we got for june. All of that said, the gauge has 90 forove 94 above eight months.

This is about an hour. Thank you. That was an overly generous introduction. Thank you, again, taylor. I think the hospitality here at the baker center, the university of tennessee has been remarkable. Its a wonderful place, and im happy to be here. You know, as an academic who ended up in washington for some reason, i wanted to give you my personal take on computational science, what we do and kind of how i view this. I think its an interesting story, i hope youll find it interesting, too, as a beta tester, i guess this can fail and still be successful as part of your learning so we can look at it that way. So i have some fr
A look at some of the political ads running in that state. A few years ago, things in minnesota werent going very well. So we got a new coach. He made the tough decisions. And now, things are looking up. We added over 150,000 new jobs and have one of the Fastest Growing economies in the nation. Cut taxes while increasing our Rainy Day Fund and investing in education.
