What Am I Working On

As has become my custom every few months, here's what I'm working on now at work. I won't repeat anything from last time that I happen to still be working on, and for confidentiality's sake I have to blur some of the details for some of these studies.

* Quantifying the economic and employment implications of an HBCU building up innovation space on campus.
