This week Craig Mundie, Microsoft’s chief research and strategy officer, has been visiting college campuses to talk with students about how the new capabilities in computing will help tackle some of the planet’s toughest challenges. 

At Cornell, Harvard, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the University of Washington, Craig is showing the leading-edge work taking place at Microsoft and demonstrating work from the Computational Science Group out of Microsoft Research Cambridge (U.K.). He's also discussing the kinds of computers students will soon be using.

If you had a chance to attend one of his talks, let us know what you thought!
