BrewBike
Spoon University, a prominent online food publication for college students, was founded in 2012 by Northwestern University students Sarah Adler and Mackenzie Barth. One of its spin-offs is a fleet of bicycles serving cold brew along the Lake Michigan waterfront campus.
Campus Child Day Care
Today at the usual hour we review the regulatory stack covering best practice for safety, accessibility, and functionality for day care facilities; with special interest in the possibilities for co-locating square footage into the (typically) lavish unused space in higher education facilities. We'll also include coverage of playground standards. Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.
Health 400 | OB-GYN
Today we break down the stack of regulations, codes, standards and open-source literature governing the safety and sustainability of university-affiliated medical research and healthcare delivery facilities. We limit our interest to systems -- water, power, telecommunication and security; for example -- that are unique to campus-configured, city-within-city risk aggregations.

Quadrivium: Summer
Educational settlements should be magical places. The stack informing the beauty of these "cities-within-cities" changes 100 to 1000 times per day globally. Titles are time-sensitive, copyright protected and land in public law. We monitor the action continuously to formulate response to public consultations. Topics appear on our CALENDAR and explored every day at 15:00 UTC. Recommend refresh of this web page once or twice to see timeliest information.
Innovation and Competitiveness in Artificial Intelligence
In May of this year NIST renamed and expanded its former "AI Safety Institute Consortium" into the NIST "Artificial Intelligence Consortium". This shift moves the focus from primarily safety toward AI measurement, innovation, adoption, and U.S. competitiveness. NIST is actively seeking new members. Participation involves a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). Letters of interest are accepted on an ongoing basis.
Current Issues & Recent Research
We are tooling up for the NFPA 2029 National Electrical Code Technical Committee Meetings in September and the IEEE Industrial Applications Society Meetings in October.

"I always turn to the sports pages first, which record people's accomplishments. The front page has nothing but man's failures." — Earl Warren (American jurist and Chief Justice, often misattributed but widely quoted in sports contexts)
