An honor to graphic record a talk by Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "The Sympathizer." I admired his message to stand together for DEI and for others, even in the face of those in power who want to diminish our solidarity.

The big debut! This week is the premiere of the California Higher Education Foresight Map! The map isn’t about predicting one future -- it’s about exploring many possible futures and new ways forward for California’s learners.

Hydrogen fuel vehicles! My #graphicrecording of the health benefits vs producing fossil fuel and output. H2 is "the only clean molecule." Gas is $10/gl.: Production, transport, storage, and consumer; Hydrogen is $12/gallon -- sure to change with more efficient production. #greentechnology #hydrogen

An honor to graphic record this presentation by Alex Kotran exploring ways that community colleges and students can leverage AI for education. Clearly, AI will lead to some job fields diminishing or going away, while others will definitely be enhanced and new fields created. #graphicrecording
