In today’s lunch with the chair, we talked a little about how to communicate with family members or friends about what computer science can do and why it’s important. I thought I’d send you a link to this brochure that we just did highlighting some of the research projects in CSE focused on important societal problems. This is intended for a general (i.e., non-techy) audience. Feel free to distribute to people you know as an example of the kinds of things that computing can do.
