ARTICLES OF INTEREST September 25, 2020 QUOTE(S) OF THE WEEK “Reading is the key that opens doors to many good things in life. Reading shaped my dreams, and more reading helped me make my dreams come true.” – Ruth Bader Ginsburg “There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will have truly defeated age.” – Sophia Loren “Millions of men have lived to fight, build palaces and boundaries, shape destinies and societies; but the compelling force of all times has been the force of originality and creation profoundly affecting the roots of human spirit.” – Ansel Adams “Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real.” – Tupac Shakur “There are a lot of ways that equality or achieving equality is blocked or there are hurdles in people’s way, but designers can help remove those hurdles.” – Rebecca Johnson “If a little knowledge is dangerous, where is the man who has so much as to be out of danger?” – Thomas Huxley “Humility before nature and each other is the key. It's our arrogance that has gotten us into so much trouble with nature and has created such anger among our fellow humans.” – Ann Druyan “Poets are almost always wrong about facts. That's because they are not really interested in facts: only in truth: which is why the truth they speak is so true that even those who hate poets by simple and natural instinct are exalted and terrified by it.” – William Faulkner VIDEO(S) OF THE WEEK Artists' Designs Being Stolen and Sold Online NBC Washington New Video: Dye It Yourself...With Avocados Dynamist Blog The Attention Economy: An Animation Visualizes the Endless Onslaught of Digital Distractions Colossal Medical professionals turn to music making as a tonic Canvas | PBS NewsHour An Intimate Short Film Highlights 2020's Crises through Exquisitely Surreal Scenes Colossal FEATURED EVENTS/OPPORTUNITIES Serena Williams to address women in tech at 2020 Grace Hopper Celebration Digital Trends September 26; September 29 – October 3 Next Generation Internet: Policy Summit Nesta September 28 – 29 NEW The Magical Realism of Gabriel García Márquez: Impact and Legacy Inaugural Embassy Series Event | National Endowment for the Humanities September 29 NEW Princeton University’s Innovation Forum Goes Virtual Sept. 29 NJ Tech Weekly September 29 NEW Hidden Expert: Storytelling with a Twist National Academy of Sciences September 30 CODAsummit Virtual: The Intersection of Art, Technology and Place CODAworx September 30 – October 2 NEW 2020 NAE Annual Meeting National Academy of Engineering October 4 – 7 NEW #FCFESTIVAL KEYNOTE PASS Fast Company Innovation Festival October 5 – 8 2020 Conference Women of Color in STEM October 8 – 10 Also Women of Color STEM Conference Announces 2020 Technologist of the Year RADM Sylvia Trent-Adams Ahead of the upcoming annual conference US Black Engineer TED and Future Stewards announce Countdown, a global initiative to champion and accelerate solutions to the climate crisis TED Blog October 10 OnRamp Manufacturing Conference gener8tor and Indiana Economic Development Corporation October 14 Call for Award Applicants: Johnson & Johnson Seeks Female Researchers Working in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Manufacturing and Design PRNewswire Deadline: October 15 EmTech Online Conference MIT Technology Review October 19 – 22 Adobe MAX, Free For Everyone This Year, Is Now Open For Signups DesignTaxi.com October 20 - 22 Future Cities Canada: #UnexpectedSolutions showcases innovation in cities GlobeNewswire October 20 – November 26 Save the Date | ENCATC Congress ENCATC – The European network on cultural management and policy October 28 – 30 | Prague, Czechoslovakia Creative Coalition 2020 Creative England and the Creative Industries Federation November 9 – 11 AIGA Design Conference AIGA November 12 – 14 | Pittsburgh, PA SBA Launches National 2020 SBIR Road Tour to Connect Tech Entrepreneurs with Federal R&D Funding Yahoo!
