Todd Richmond, Ph.D., Managing Director USC Annenberg Center fo
r Communication: One of the greatest challenges to successfully navigating in today's information-rich environment is the ability to understand not only the nuts and bolts of technology, but also to be able to step back and see a master plan.

"Regardless of whether it's looking at enzyme mechanisms or learning what's at the heart of a particular software system, I believe you need to understand what makes the small things tick before going on to offer an opinion about the larger picture," says Richmond, who holds a doctorate in chemistry from Caltech.As managing director of the Annenberg Center, among Richmond's primary pursuits are researching numerous social software issues, including the use of weblogs, wikis, and BBSs in the academic space, and working in various aspects of remix culture.
