Love the Technologists and the Technology

So, here I am at WIRED NextFest in NYC… and it confirms what I already know — I’ve got one of the best communications gigs in the world. I work at GE Global Research with 2,000+ awesome technologists from around the world. These folks are changing the world through their technology and are also about the coolest people you’ll ever meet. So, we’ve brought down a crew of them for this event.

We have “Edison’s Desk” where five of our folks are demonstrating cool technologies they are developing, ranging from nanotechnology to surgical fluorescents. I don’t know who is more excited — the guests who are enjoying the demonstrations or our scientists who are playing around with each other’s demos.

It’s a great time — and I encourage people in the NYC area to come out for the event this Friday and Saturday to catch some of the action. Whether you are a scientist or a gal with a degree in journalism (go Ohio U!), you’ll be amazed! To get a sneak peek, visit www.grcblog.com.
