Innovation and Ireland
Today’s site visit was to Eaton, which is a multinational power management company. Planes. Hospitals. Factories. Data centers. Vehicles. The electrical grid.

The landscape here is beautiful from the wide-open skies to the flora…
Ate a Spanish Omelette…in Dublin #cultured
When first landing in Dublin, I looked out the window from my middle section aisle seat to see nothing but empty green fields and it did not even look as if we had left Pennsylvania. Being my first time out of the country, I had always wondered if foreign air would smell different, if I…
Dublin, at First Glance
On Thursday we went on two site visits; in the morning we visited a non-profit called FoodCloud and after lunch, we toured Croke Park, the third largest stadium in the EU.
