Coming Back Down to Earth

A note to my readers, present and future: apologies for my soap box speaking as I reflect on my early, overwhelming experiences in the early days of institute--it's truly an immersive experience. Especially after tonight's opening ceremonies and the passion and sense of both urgency and possibility that they bring with them and share with us. It definitely has the tendency to get all of us at Institute choked up and hopeful. I hope it doesn't come off too strong.

Thanks for reading!
