Thoughts on the "brain drain"

First of all, thanks to all who came to the fundraising dinner on Saturday night! We had a great time and hope that you did as well. Thanks also to Dr. Ansa for delivering an excellent keynote address.

I wanted to offer some thoughts on the so-called "brain drain," which we began discussing a little bit at the dinner during Dr. Ansa's Q&A. As a disclaimer, I'm not an expert on this issue, nor have I done any research on the topic. Allison and I have, though, had a few first-hand discussions about the topic during our time in Ghana.

For those who were not present at the dinner, I'll give a little background. "Brain drain" is defined by Wikipedia as "human capital flight" or more specifically, "the large scale emigration of a large group of individuals with technical skills or knowledge". . . read more.

Thanks for coming

Thanks to all who came out for the Trivia Night! From the team who essentially got every question right to the five or so teams who ended up with zero points after betting it all on the last question - all had a great time. Just to test yourself: Which country boasts of the largest man-made lake by surface area?
