[WebPub] [abcd-w3] Tomorrow (Wed): The Internet of Things (IoT makes breakfast*)

[Prasad, Raman M]

(This event was re-scheduled from September.  Those that RSVP’d do not have to do so again.  For those that came in Sept., we will have food.)

Hello MIT WebPub,

Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 11th, we are excited to have former ABCD-W3 co-chair Eric Mattison present The Internet of Things.

(* IoT makes breakfast: I can't guarantee he'll talk about it but Eric recently described a work hackathon where they used lab equipment and APIs to make toast and boiled eggs Rube Goldberg style: https://goo.gl/pJaZSS)

Talk
Currently a Senior Analyst at Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Eric will explain how the Internet of Things (IoT) is being used to streamline scientific processes, shortening the time-to-market for life-saving drugs.  The talk will include:

 - What is IoT?  Just another buzzword to get budget allocation from C-level executives, or an actual game-changer?
 - How we got here: the technologies and economics that make IoT possible
 - Implementations, large and small (the small ones are the most interesting)

Bio
Before selling out to almighty Mammon, Eric Mattison was an impoverished journeyman web serf here at Harvard, extolling the virtues of Python, Django and web APIs.  Now a Senior Analyst at Vertex Pharmaceuticals, he works to streamline internal business processes using Python, Django and web APIs.
