Educational Materials, One Step at a Time

From "CBS 60 Minutes Video - Aired April 19th, 2009"
[Update] I thought I would post a blog about the 60 minutes video piece that aired on April 19th regarding cold fusion. It was refreshing to see an interview by major US television show attempt to gently educate the public on some of the recent history of this field and shine a light of hope, instead of curse the darkness as some might prefer to do for whatever reason. As a blogger these past five years expressing my freedom of speech about a few links I see on the web, and magazine stories I read from across several industries (like multi-discipline engineers do these days), I try to help as I can. How many of you have done google searches on subjects that might impact this field like I have? I have both personally agreed, or disagreed with articles as I have stated in my disclaimer and about SAFETY First (Sometimes a Few Experimenters TEll You - First).
I'm essentially a peon ( and perhaps a bit of a boron ) in this field. I'm not a skilled writer, but I try. I have no self interests or investments riding on this field and anything I do have( including many hours) given away long ago to help pay it forward. I do try to help the best I can in my free time, because what we do with science and technology impacts not only this generation, but the next (and the next). If we fail to even try to manage science and completely close our eyes, or worse - fail to follow a societal code of ethics ( The IEEE code of ethics is one I admire, whether you are an IEEE member or not), what does that imply for our collective future in the strange internet connected world we all live in? Please forgive me, but if you see a spoof every now and then, I do try to label them as such ..(spoof) !!

We must all try our best to "manage what we measure." Comments, criticisms or otherwise, I think 60 minutes exhibited a good effort in that regard with their reporting on this subject. To those of you I admire, my best to your efforts and experiments. :-)

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
Note: The above magnificent historical article was pointed out by members of the cold fusion science community. I find it ironic that the author of this fine historical piece can not find a journal to publish it. Quite amazing indeed, since all the cited references are from open historical literature, personal survey of Laureates, and a variety of journals and news sources !
