![]() Yes, indeed, an extraordinary life changing adventure! Several months ago when I was invited to participate, I never dreamed that my heart and soul would be touched as deeply as they have been on this trip to Mozambique and Gorongosa National Park.Įxploring Gorongosa National Park (GNP), there were times that tears came to my eyes and a big lump formed in my throat as I witnessed animals in their natural environment, incredible sunsets over the African Rift Valley, and amazing lanscapes. I said to Dennis Liu (senior manager at HHMI for educational resources and film) tonight as I hugged him, “Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this life-altering trip.” Thank you to HHMI BioInteractive for making this opportunity a reality. Over the next several weeks I will process how my experiences will influence my future actions but I hope that at the very least they will help me to remember to appreciate the opportunities I have been given and to be more present in the moment. ![]() It is easy to pass judgment when one has not walked in another's foot steps.

Gorongosa National Park and the communities that surround it is a special place were science, conservation, education, and community assistance are coming together to save a natural wonder and provide a hand up to a resilient community of people. We (the team) experienced events that will connect us for years to come. The sights and sounds are quickly becoming less vivid but the feelings still remain. ![]() As I sit in the lounge waiting for my final flight home, it is hard to wrap my head around the events of the past 12 days.

An internal analysis by Ronald Prepchuk identified the key issues Visio was facing: Visio launched the product in 1997 with great expectations only to see disappointing sales. Perhaps the most serious threat was IntelliCAD – a product secretly developed by Softdesk and then sold to Visio when Softdesk was acquired by Autodesk in 1996.
