Get my steps in. Thank you guys also much for coming. Thank you for coming to wasnt center through the snow, sleet, whenever it is doing and on star wars day. Really appreciate it. I had the distinct pleasure of welcoming you to the Woodrow Wilson center and a lunch of the book designing reality. Launch. My name is Elizabeth Newbury and of the director for the Gains Initiative here at the Wilson Center in the science and Technology Innovation program. This means when im not introducing world famous authors i Transit Research ideas into one most dynamic mediums we have public engagement, gains. As alan might agree, games are one of the best tools we have for translating complexity into an accessible, and there i say fun, format. Translating complexity something we specialize in here for the science and Technology Innovation program from diy bio labs and makers basis for help innovation to science fighting zika to cybersecurity laws for congressional staff. We specialize in being the bri

When german retailers started charging for plastic bags consumption of them fell dramatically by two billion bags a year not bad but a manton of them still end up in recycling bins here and a huge number never get recycled at all despite germany being a Global Recycling champion. Keogh do over decided to take an up close and personal look at the problem. My flatmates are the best at recycling most of our waste ends up in the regular trash. Everyone says we really should be recycling because waste is full of valuable materials. Packaging paper glass organic waste only what is left should go in the trash. Here in germany theres a separate bin for every kind of waste. Is something useful done with all of this. Germans produce an average of over six hundred kilos of waste in.

Im the director here at the Wilson Center in science and technology and Innovation Programs. When im not introducing worldfamous authors i translate Research Ideas through one of the most dynamic and meet mediums we have for engagement, games. Games are one of the best tools we have for translating complexities to a flexible and dare i say fun format. Something we specialize for signs technology and Innovation Program from the bio lab and to science fighting zika we specialize in being the bridge between those on the ground in debating science to those here in washington with wanting to make science policy for per their goal is to make science accessible. Thats why we are pleased to bring the extra piece of the gershenfeld brothers. This will provide it convergence of the virtual and physical world and argues the need to get ahead of this technology before its too late from food to furniture to games its changing the way we design and make things.
