End of Summer 2011
Well, it’s not really Fall yet, but classes have started, and this always signals the end of Summer.

The summer was busy and productive: two papers were completed and submitted for review, a grant was written and submitted, another two papers were drafted. A lot of writing. Now, we’ll get back to some designing.

This semester we’ll be offering a new course through the Public Design Workshop, entitled “Farming, Gardening, Foraging and Designing the Internet of Things.” This course is a continuation of our research into the possible uses of sensing and robotics in support of small-scale agriculture. As the course progresses, we’ll post information about our work.

Later this Fall Thomas Lodato and Carl DiSalvo will be attending the Society for The Social Studies of Science conference in Cleveland, November 2-5. If you’d like to meet-up, contact us via email. Jonathan Lukens will be beginning his dissertation research, which certainly will involve travel, details forthcoming.
