Hot shot techno celebs Dave Douglas and Greg Papadopoulos (and close personal friends, not to brag) have penned an op ed piece that ran in the Financial Times today.
It's about Citizen Engineer.
A little copy/paste action from the FT story for you:
The growing commitment of the global community to solving some of our most incomprehensible challenges – global warming, famine, poverty – is generating a dialogue between policy makers and problem solvers that has rarely been experienced.

p.s. Full Disclosure: DD... he'd probably own up to being a "close personal friend" if pressed. GregP, not so much. I don't think he'd recognize me, to be completely honest with you. Or really know who I was, exactly. Unless I told him I was that girl at the U2 concert in San Diego. (little inside joke there :-)
