Books from David Wilson's Library

Update: books were given to a technical book dealer who promised they would avoid the pulper. They will either be sold or donated to resources that can use them.

All of the following books from David Wilson's library are available to the requester that emails me at shukong@gmail.com with the title (and in which picture below) and we can arrange for you to pick up before the end of March 2020. While some book donation groups don't like older books many of these are classics in technology.  I've claimed the B&W Steam book, but CRC and Marks resources, do they ever go out of style? If they are unclaimed they will just get donated.

Friday, February 14th, 2020 "Careers: open discussion"

Due to illness, our previously scheduled speaker, Koji Hashimoto, has had to cancel the presentation he was scheduled to make this Friday. Instead, we will have an Open Forum discussion. Many of our members have had a variety of interesting and varied careers in the differing fields of science and technology. I feel that it would be interesting to share some of those experiences among the members, and so this Friday I ask for volunteers to speak for a few minutes about their own careers. I suggest about fifteen minutes or so, although more or less would be fine also. Please let me know if you are willing to join in this. It is not necessary to prepare formal presentations, although you may do so if you desire. Of course, if there are other topics that you wish to speak on, that would be fine also.

Next month Lita Nelson, former director of the Technology Licensing Office at MIT and now a consultant in technology transfer and entrepreneurship, will talk about her career as head of patent licensing at MIT, one of the most active institutions in technology transfer in the world. See you Friday!
