"If you think education is expensive, try ignorance."
This is my most recent lecture. I also invite you to watch the rest of the lectures on my channel.
The world is smaller than it seems. Traveling and working globally has allowed me to learn from institutions and colleagues in different countries, and to build networks that connect knowledge-intensive organizations that see the world in different ways.
Description goes here.
