I beg to differ on many of the things I have just read on this topic.
the 2 names from temple mentioned,
prior to discrediting the subject matter one would be best understanding the subject and those informing others of it.
So we have a physics professor R Tao, are you aware he was selected and funded by the Rand corp to investigate an aspect of this technology (Oil related). Google Rand corp to understand how significant they are. It takes just seconds for people to voice an opinion they believe to be right, how long do you think it would take Rand to review this topic and commit funding. My point this topic is worthy of further evaluation and investigation!
Tao is the Chair of the Physics department at Temple jump on their website and read up on his history, he is not in the business of snake oil.
and the other name Larry F. Lemanski
New hire to boost research funding
Posted on 29 January 2008
Temple's research enterprise is quickly growing as newly hired Senior Vice President for Research Larry F. Lemanski has a clear vision for the future.
As of Dec. 1, Lemanski began his journey to push Temple toward becoming a leading, world-renowned research institute. To achieve his goal, he said he plans to make research more "user-friendly" so it is easier for students and faculty to participate in studies and receive increased funding from various sources.
Lemanski is currently scheduling seminars to educate Temple's researchers, which are meant to increase their capabilities of being successful for competitive grant funding. He also plans to work with state, local and federal legislators to get large grants through federal initiatives.
"I am hoping that we can get some federal earmarks to build pillars of excellence in some areas here on campus," he said.
Lemanski said he also hopes to expand translational research, patenting the discoveries of students and faculties and then licensing the technology so it can be put to use. The university receives a portion of the money earned, which would enhance all the scholarly activities of the university. Some of the money earned is for indirect expenses, ultimately providing more opportunities for Temple students.
"We may not get a Gatorade like [the University of Florida] did, but we will certainly be successful in getting some things," Lemanski said. "There may be a big hit at some point where Temple will get something very large that would significantly change, in a very short time, the complexion of the university and make it a world-renowned research university."
Lemanski said he decided to join Temple because he felt his past experiences fit well with what the university is ready to accomplish. He said he finds significant momentum and excitement to move to the next level of research because of the addition of President Ann Weaver Hart and Provost Lisa Staiano-Coico, who understand the importance of establishing Temple as a major research university.
"Over the next five years, I think that we can accomplish tremendous amounts," Lemanski said. "I think the university can move up to a world class status in a number of areas, and I expect to be able to see the university doubling in funding during that period of time."
Previously, Lemanski worked as Florida Atlantic University's first vice president for research. In five years, he increased their funding from $30 million to more than $90 million, set up their division of research, and created a Center of Excellence grant, which has yielded more than $40 million. The center also established four new companies, received 27 patents and published several works.
Lemanski also has a background in teaching and said he hopes to continue that as a professor of anatomy and cell biology for the Temple's School of Medicine within the next two years.
Temple University President Ann Weaver Hart has announced that Larry F. Lemanski, Ph.D., the vice president for research at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) in Boca Raton, Fla., has been named Temple's senior vice president for research and strategic initiatives.
