This will remain is a critical tool for successfully navigating our complex world. Without it, we would be forced to rely solely on intuition, other people’s authority, and blind luck.
IEEE President Land will discuss cancel culture, social media, its possible impact on the science and technology community and the role IEEE and our members must play.
