Remember that “totally sweet deal”:http://clog.dailycal.org/index.php?id=179 UC scored with BP? The one about funding for alternative energy research? We thought it was pretty awesome.
We changed our minds. It looks like the Academic Senate won’t have any say in the plans for collaboration with BP. One professor even doubts the Senate will see preview of the contract. Kinda shady if you ask us. Research on our turf and with our equipment and they’re giving the cold shoulder to one of our governing bodies? Sounds like someone still hasn’t gotten enough sexy time.
If you ask us, though, the planned lab work looks to be damn sexy.
Termite hotness XXX! (We told you it was sexy.) By harnessing the power of the sun, The Helios Project will take microbes from termite guts (what exactly constitutes guts anyway?) to digest plant matter and produce ethanol for fuel. It’s been called a “centerpiece for the next 20 years.”
We’ve certainly seen no centerpiece like that.
