Paolo's Leaving...

(Pseudo) Paolo posing...

Our dear friend and colleague Paolo Cardini and his family are leaving Doha's sandy plains for Rhode Island's greener pastures, where he's taking up an Associate Professorship at RISD. 

We wish him and his family all the best, though they will be sorely missed... May they bring the same catalytic spark and nous to their new friends in the States as they have bestowed on us here in Qatar over the past three years... 

Keep in touch Paolo, Valeria and offspring. Hope to catch up with you all soon...
