Same goes for those lighting up the exterior of their homes purely for decoration.

Hello, Double Dave’s

Short for ‘Mo’ time on this highway

Coach and I cooked up a little surprise for the boys of U.S. Soccer Men's National Team. In case you missed all 27… @cpulisic_10 Hershey, PA

We enjoyed our conversation with students in Professor Kirsta Melton’s course on modern-day slavery. @Kammerkerwick and I discussed the complicated economics and corrupted supply chains around trafficking in persons. IDVSA @IC2institute #HookEm

As we kick off, #EDW2023 here’s hoping more communities will shift from solely focusing on business attraction, expansion, and development to complete community building with an emphasis on the #wellbeingeconomy. cc: IC² Institute #econdev #cities

I'm reminded that one issue close to George's heart, as the son of Russian immigrants, was doing what he could to help Russia's economic transformation in the 1990s. IC2 hosted a conference in 1999 with Los Alamos to find ways to partner with Russia's nuclear cities (1/2)

(2/2) to employ Russia's stranded nuclear software engineers in places like Nizhny and Sarov. Such commercial cooperation still seems a long way off, but George was always ahead of his time.

Go Greens!

Excited and proud to be co-hosting the 76th Annual AUBER - Assoc of Univ Business & Econ Research fall conference in San Antonio this weekend, with Texas Real Estate Research Center. Our theme, "The Future of Work," couldn't have been timed better, I do believe. Matt Kammer-Kerwick IC² Institute BBR@UT

This is my dog Peanut on the day that my Wife and I adopted him from the Austin Humane Society in 2018. One of the best days of my life. He’s an extremely good boy.

I especially connected with Dean Lucchinetti's emphasis on keeping humans at the center of AI innovation to ensure that we do everything we can to reduce bias. What an inspiring message she presented during her fireside chat with S. Craig Watkins.

Thanks to Texas Global for making this learning journey possible and for setting these great students up for success in their future bridge-building endeavors.
