Make the most of your time at high school to develop skills such as public speaking, teamwork and leadership. I also teach GIS and data science classes, all with a geophysical component, and conduct research in these topics. I began my career in the technical side of GIS, but I have been wooed to the social sciences.

I first met Ed in 1982—on an island in the Caribbean he had bought with money from taking public a tech company he’d founded. But Ed Fredkin’s first piece of public visibility seems to have come in 1948, when he was 13 years old—and it reminds me so much of many of Ed’s later “self-imposed” adventures.

He starts off by saying about Carnot’s book: The idea which serves as a basis of his researches seems to me to be both fertile and beyond question; his demonstrations are founded on the absurdity of the possibility of creating motive power or heat out of nothing. with respect to the variables defining the configuration of the system).
