Cornell Whisky Tasting - Wednesday, 10 February
The Cornell Whisky tasting has established quite a following with Cornellians, our friends at DUAL and our friends at Berkeley.
To round out the event this year, we will also offer a dinner option at Nagae (the japanese restaurant at the Grand Copthorne) to allow members and friends to continue networking over a hearty meal. The kind management at Nagae has offered a 15% discount for a-la-carte menu to event attendees. Prices are also very reasonable as noodles start at $12 pre-discount and Katsu-don dinner set is going at $21.85.
Programme - The Islay Connection
Featuring:
- Bunnahabhain 12 years old
- Bowmore 12 years old
- Smokehead
- Black Bottle
Islay (pronounced eye-la) is probably the most well known whisky producing island among the connoisseurs. It has 8 distilleries, and is famous for producing robust, smoky, whiskies full of the sea influenced flavours. However, not all Islay whiskies are heavily peated with smoke. In this sampling set, we bring you to the most gentle Islay single malt, Bunnahabhain, to the most balanced smoke, Bowmore, and to the heavily peated Smokehead. You will also get to taste the blended whisky, Black Bottle, that is said to contain a blend of all seven distilleries from Islay (whisky from the eighth distillery is not ready)... and find out why it is called the whisky with "a heart of Islay".
Whisky tasting at $40 nett for DUAL members.

ICAAS Public Lecture on Innovation by Dr Geoff Nicholason (Father of 3M Post-It Notes) - Friday 26 February
Date:
26 Feb 2010 (Fri)
Time:
6.15pm (Buffet dinner reception); Lecture starts at 7.15pm
Title:
Innovation in Practice at 3M
Venue:
SMU Administration Building, Conference Hall, Level 5
We hear a lot of talk about innovation, its importance to companies and nations. Is it part of your business plan? Do you provide the resources to do it? Is it the responsibility of all the disciplines in your organization? How do you define innovation? Do you measure it? Are long term research groups in touch with customers and flexible enough to support short term developments when necessary? Do research projects with a short term focus leave room for longer term efforts? What volunteer employee activities foster innovation and how can these activities be encouraged? Does your organization have a history of stories that help employees to learn about innovation? Does the company recognize innovative achievements? We will try to answer these questions with examples of 3M's innovative culture and results.
Imperial College alumnus Dr Geoff Nicholson is a retired 3M Vice President in International Technical Operations.
Please register via: https://registration.smu.edu.sg/prjreg/IIE/register.asp?EventCD=IIE29559
The buffet reception and lecture is free-of-charge to Imperial College alumni and/or DUAL members.
