Welcome to the first season of ASU KEDtalks: The Podcast, brought to you by Knowledge Enterprise Development (KED) at Arizona State University, which advances research and innovation at ASU. This podcast will introduce you to the people behind the research and the ideas that drive them. Kicking off the series, Sethuraman “Panch” Panchanathan, Executive Vice President of KED and ASU's Chief Research and Innovation Officer, explains what knowledge enterprise really means, along with its impact on all of us as life-long learners. You’ll hear ASU researchers share about their areas of specialty and their findings, like an upcoming voyage to a unique asteroid...or the “wicked” problems associated with global security...the value of taking risks...the possibility of space tourism...and rocks that talk.
