NEW YEAR, SAME GREAT VIBES! We have some amazing articles in this edition. We hope you enjoy reading each one as much as we did. Thank you to all the authors who contributed and thank you to our newsletter sponsor, Applied Materials!
ALSO, we have exciting news to share. Drumroll please … We’ve been hinting on our social (shameless plug: follow & interact with us!) for a few weeks that we had big news “coming soon.” As you can see in the header above, we have an incredible NEW LOGO and beautiful refreshed color palette. We’re also giving you a sneak peek of our new image campaign website: www.designthesolution.org. This fresh approach offers new faces, engaging stories and real-life moments of how semiconductors can, and are, changing our world for the better.
Don’t forget to share this newsletter and encourage your colleagues to get involved with us. Subscribe now so you don’t miss a future edition of Designing the Difference.
