SESYNC

Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center SESYNC

Where humans and environments intersect...
(c) David Lazar
And what a fun meeting place. SESYNC is the closest I'll get to a 'Google' work environment.  Breaks with cookies and soccer - perfect.  Better yet, in between the breaks, I got to work with amazing people on how a healthy marine environment and improved marine governance (aka Marine Protected Areas - MPAs) affect human health on national and a global scale.

This is what happens when big data from usually disconnected sources come together for a mash up. You get a bunch of nerds 'geeking out' in front of white boards.  Ah... white boards full of ideas, mechanisms, and data sources!!  So satisfying.
