Mary Ruckelshaus, NatCap’s managing director, provided guidance that might sound familiar to many in academia—that “probing” for potential collaborations was okay, but that with the team already short on time,"The trick was to get this compound into a fiber dstti structure, something that had never been done before." Using an innovative high-pressure chemical-deposition technique developed by Justin Sparks, a graduate student in the Department of Chemistry, Badding and his team deposited zinc selenide waveguiding cores inside of silica glass capillaries to form the new class of optical fibers. they should be cautious about taking on side projects that come with no formal agreement or funding.
With one pilot project already underway, she emphasized, the marine team has to be sure that their system is robust before taking on additional challenges. A time for broader applications will come, Ruckelshaus said,But cyclists and pedestrians were not as happy, describing the led light light-less junction as "a bit hairy". but for now, “we’re not really in an expanding mode.A team of scientists led by John Badding, a professor of chemistry at Penn table lamps State, has developed the very first optical fiber made with a core of zinc selenide -- a light-yellow compound that can be used as a semiconductor.”

The first time I dialed into the Friday morning meeting, Gail Kaiser, administrative associate for the Natural Capital project, was kind enough to introduce me to the others on the line.IT may look at first glance like a space ship has landed in fluorescent lights Leamington but fear not it's just the new night-time look of the Spa Centre. When she initially mentioned that I’d be “monitoring” the call, however, there was a brief, awkward silence—followed quickly by the clarification that I would be “following” the conversation. I said “lurking” might be a better definition, and for the rest of the conference I was appropriately silent – enjoying the facts that I was a. at home and b. in my pajamas and c. still getting work done.
That short moment of easy living aside, the palpable tension coming through all those different phone lines served as a reminder that what Jamie and I are trying to do won’t necessarily be easy. We both feel lucky to have access to a world-class research group in such unguarded, casual circumstances; but we’re also committed to fulfilling the role of journalists. The question we’re struggling with, as we become more closely immersed with the researchers, is where to draw the line between personal and professional relationships…and how aggressively, for example, to seek out external voices who don’t necessarily support the Natural Capital Project’s approach.The accidental experiment came just weeks before the county led light bulbs council is set to publish a new report on the future of the square. In other words, how do we maintain both our pajama-worthy connection with the researchers and our journalist objectivity and independence? Are sparks of apprehension shooting down the telephone wires to be avoided, or to be embraced as a sign that we are doing something right? They are questions we hope you’ll help us answer as our project moves ahead.
