I was pulling together background materials on the Bayh-Dole Act assisting a 13 year old student who asked for help on a paper she’s writing when the news broke that the Pakistani Taliban had attacked a school killing children her age and younger. The theme of her paper is leadership that’s made an impact on the world. Even in the 9th grade she knows that encouraging innovation makes the world a better place. The contrast between her insight and the madness also taking place recalled a prior experience.
