Open agenda; Not Too Organized. Whatever anyone wants to talk about. We do meet once a month like this. Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.
We are moving across the street! Details forthcoming
Join us for lunch 11:45 AM – 1:15 PM every Third Wednesday
University of Michigan Business School Executive Dining Room (Under construction until 2026) | University of Michigan Golf Course Dining Room
If we were running that upgrade of the dining facility at the business school — instead of Sodexo — we would complete it in six months. Alas, by some strange bureaucratic configuration, the project is taking 24 months. Until then we meet at the Golf Course on the South Athletic Campus where, admittedly, parking is easier.
Did you know that for more than 50 years, NIST called D.C. home? Due to the city’s rapid growth and the resulting noise and disturbances, NIST moved to rural Maryland. The area helped the campus to grow, and scientists could make their sensitive measurements without interference. pic.twitter.com/Yr15JKh3Ch

NYC bagels & pizza owe their fame to the city’s tap water—soft, pure, and gravity-fed from the Catskills/Delaware watersheds. Discover how NYC delivers 1.1B gallons/day to 9M people, and why #NSFANSI standards help keep it safe. @NSF_Intl #SafeWater #NYC https://t.co/IQlnLzpkiu

THE COLLEGE CRISIS
A massive number of colleges and universities have shut down within the last couple of years, or will shut down in the next few.
Many of these colleges have cited financial hardship or enrollment decline as reasons for closure. But what’s really going on? 🧵 pic.twitter.com/MoF1Iiejzd

Happy Midsummer! 🌺☀️🇸🇪🎉
We had so much fun celebrating the magic of this Swedish tradition by making flower wreaths, dancing around the maypole, enjoying a smorgasbord buffet and music with our American friends, families and allies here in DC. pic.twitter.com/NC9tEKa4RS
