Think Bigg

Congratulations to my friend Amy Smith on a wonderful write-up in today’s NYTimes!

Covering this summer’s International Development Design Summit, the Times gave a great overview of the mechanics of the summer program, as well as Amy’s heroic efforts to promote truly meaningful design at the university.

As the article nicely puts it,

M.I.T. has nurtured dozens of Nobel Prize winners in cerebral realms like astrophysics, economics and genetics. But lately, the institute has turned its attention toward concrete thinking to improve the lives of the world’s bottom billion, those who live on a dollar a day or less and who often die young.

I’m sure the multitude of Amy’s fans just continue to grow…
