MPP student Faraimunashe Nkomo on thesis writing at the Brandt School. The MPP includes a mandatory internship which was an great inspiration for Farai's thesis topic: "The internship (at the World Wind Energy Association, editor's note), most importantly, exposed me to international wind energy industry experts. These networks helped me gather useful information, and answer complex questions that I had regarding sustainable energy transitions."
