Today Big Think is pleased to welcome the very talented Maria Popova, of Brain Pickings fame, to our regular blogging team. Known for “curating eclectic interestingness” from around (and beyond) the Web, Maria will author the new Design for Good blog, focusing on socially beneficial design in the 21st century. You can read her debut post here.Design for Good will cover “everything from industrial design that addresses developing world problems, to guerrilla design interventions that make urbanity more livable, to graphical presentations of data that bring greater transparency to politics. Rapidly expanding in response to increasing cultural demand, this area of study will only grow more vital—and fascinating—in the 21st century.”
Maria, welcome; BT fans, enjoy!
