The Lab that Fell to Earth
Interesting article in this month’s Wired about the future of the MIT Media Lab. The article discusses funding, recently relevant as I’ve been demoing of my previous audio research to local companies to drum up supporters for continued funding through a regional tech fund.
It’s not worth too much detail here, but ask me in person about it sometime - it’s been an interesting lesson in corporate R&D, funding in academia, and organizational politics in general.
That coupled with wrangling a summer internship, picking topics for my thesis essay and project, and keeping up with classes has made things a bit hectic lately. Four weeks left….

I’m still doing the application process, but hopefully should know in the next two weeks - some exciting prospects though.
