Editor in Chief and Publisher
I'm the editor in chief and the publisher of MIT Technology Review. That means I direct the editorial, platform development, and general business strategy of the company's digital and print publications, as well as our events.
Before joining MIT Technology Review in 2004, I was the editor in chief of a now-vanished biotechnology magazine I founded. Between 1996 and 2002, I was the editor of Red Herring magazine, which the Wall Street Journal called the "bible of the dot.com boom."

Consequently, my accent wanders alarmingly.

Sir William Empson (whose biography, Among the Mandarins, I have been reading, and about whom I have posted ) once wrote a vilanelle, Missing Dates, one of whose metaphors derives from an experiment that reminds me of the Safar Center's...
I read today that Pittsburgh's Safar Centre for Resuscitation Research has developed a technique in which a dog's veins are drained of blood and filled with ice-cold saline. Then scientists resucitated the dogs (who had been dead for three hours)...
Chris Anderson at The Long Tail has an interesting entry on why the L.A. Times's bloggish experiment with participatory journalism went so wrong. For those not following the story, Michael Kinsley (the founding editor of Slate, now the L.A. Times's...
Ernst Mayr, the greatest evolutionary theorist of the 20th century, died last February at the age of 100. Andrew Madden, our obituaries editor (yes, we have one) wrote a very nice tribute to his life and work in the July...
I am back from Shanghai. When I left, I said I had three questions I hoped to answer during my visit.
