Dear Friends,
As some of you know, I am leaving today for an adventure. Earlier this spring, I found out that I received a Zolberg Fellowship from the New School's Institute on Mobility and Migration. Therefore, I'll be spending all of July and half of August in Amman, Jordan where I'll be working with the International Rescue Committee on several machine learning and data visualization projects related to refugees. I'm looking forward to the many opportunities and challenges that will come with this project.
I'll have more specifics on my projects in the coming days when I arrive. Plus, I plan to keep this blog active with many photos and descriptions about my adventures in Jordan.
Daniel will be home taking care of Doralee. I'll miss them both terribly of course. But, adventure calls. I'll leave the post with a quote from the Hobbit.
“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no telling where you might be swept off to.” –J.R.R. Tolkien
Best,
Steve
