Posted by kdawson on from the window-into-research dept.

netbuzz writes "University research labs are not supposed to be like Vegas: What happens in them is not supposed to stay there. A nonprofit from the Kauffman Innovation Network launching yesterday at DEMO 07 aims to free the fruits of academic research that would otherwise sit trapped on university shelves. Bonus: the site translates academic-speak into English.

    Some dude wants to see university research. Then they write an article about it and post it on Slashdot?.

    At first I thought this article was going to be pointers on "freeing the good stuff" chemistry-wise from the lab stores.

    Darn.

    During my university career, my fellow students and I freed quite a bit of "good stuff" from our labs... ethanol, useful glassware, etc.
