As always, it's been an interesting couple of days reviewing proposals
for the National Science Foundation. For me there is the additional
incentive of driving five minutes from home to get to the NSF here in
Arlington–a very short commute for Washington.
As we come to the end of November, the end of the Fall semester is
drawing near and with it, the opportunity to take time to think
strategically about where we are and where we are likely to go.
Certainly the uncertain state of the US economy is a factor. Likewise,
the urgent need of the National Capital Area for a dominant research
university of the caliber of say Penn, Chicago or Berkeley.
