An assorted list of things I've been reading online:

• How Diversity Makes Us Smarter - Decades of research by organizational scientists, psychologists, sociologists, economists and demographers show that socially diverse groups (that is, those with a diversity of race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation) are more innovative than homogeneous ( Read more... )

me: what is an imzy and can I fill it with my Star Trek feelings?
imzy: a new community focused social media platform and yes! bring on the Star Trek!
