You don’t have to build confidence before taking action. You build confidence by taking action.
Standing still breeds rumination and seeds self-doubt. Motion fuels progress and elevates efficacy.
Never let doubts about your ability undermine your faith in your ability to learn.

On the tougher days in this job, I need to remind myself that:
-the self-doubt means I have ambitious career goals
-the failure means I'm taking risks and trying something new
-the frustration means I care and I'm passionate about my work
“this work will do a whole lot of good in the world.” -Philip DuBose, Rice360 Intern
Deeply inspired by the persistence & ingenuity of innovators who tackle tough challenges head on— resulting in tangible impact. Here’s a recap of the past 7 weeks with @RICE_OEDK SEED + Rice360:

Would love to see more research focused on structural, policy, curricular, and organizational issues in engineering education. Those are the kinds of studies that can inform sustainable change strategies and be useful given current issues.

It was a pleasure talking about the PolyVent open-source ventilator at @rice360glht yesterday. We're pioneering open source medical devices, and we need users and students like these to start the movement!
Awesome to learn from @pubinvention response to global humanitarian challenges. Key insights from Dr. Read: 1) document your design work so that others can build on it, & 2) persistence pays off BIG. Thanks for joining SEED & @rice360glht at the @RICE_OEDK!
