Chickens and eggs in energy policy
In one of my classes we’ve been discussing energy consumption, and the pros and cons of using tools like large gas taxes to help control consumption. One of my students just posted a link to a piece that predicts that we’re looking at $4/gallon gas this summer in the U.S., and also says (without any [...]

(These are unofficial results, but I’m pretty sure these are solid.) Huzzah! One of our teams took first at the MICS contest this time last year, and first [...]
Is piling up patents really a good measure of success?
The keynote speaker tonight at MICS is from IBM and is extoling the very significant accomplishments of IBM over the years. He’s chosen, however, to place significant emphasis on how many patents are generated by IBM. They apparently consistently lead in the # of patents generated per company in the U.S., and their presence in [...]
Greetings from MICS 2007
We’ve arrived without incident in Grand Forks, ND, for MICS 2007. To be blunt, I tend to not come to MICS very often because the quality of the presentations generally isn’t very impressive (not the best examples of scientists as great communicators, I’m afraid). We have four UMM student talks at this year’s conference, including [...]
There’s still nothing to do in Morris :-)
What a crazy couple of weeks! First we had the insanity of the Mutant Variety Show, which has already been discussed at some length here. Above we have a cool photo (courtesy of Joey Iverson!) of “Looking for my leopard”, with Sub-Evil conducting our all-girl boy chorus of Huck Brock (L) and John Hanson (R). [...]
