Richard Newton, RIP
A. Richard Newton, the dean of UC Berkeley's College of Engineering, died today. He was 55. Rich is the person who invited me to be Berkeley Engineering's first writer-in-residence and supported me in the creation of Lab Notes, the online research digest I've written for six years. Rich was a charismatic visionary, an innovative researcher, a shrewd entrepreneur, an inspiring educator, and a passionate advocate for engineering a better world. His energy and enthusiasm were infectious. I'll miss him.Link
