While in Boston for U2’s December tour dates, Bono was seen not only at Harvard University meeting with people at the Medical School and the Kennedy School of Government on behalf of the work he does with DATA, he also spent time meeting the leadership at MIT’s new Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab. In the photo are: Professor Bengt Holmstrom, head of economics; Rachel Glennerster, executive director of the lab; and economics Professor Abhijit Banerjee, one of the lab’s directors.

This is not the first time Bono has been associated with MIT as he also served on the Board of Directors for the now disbanded MIT Media Lab Europe, which was headquartered in Dublin.
