When most people hear "fuel cell," they think of hydrogen-powered cars that emit nothing more than water. That, says Eric Wachsman, is one of the reasons you're not driving one.	How long do you think it takes a 6-foot tall Christmas tree to go from holiday centerpiece to an inferno capable of destroying your home? You'd be surprised.	UMD's Department of Materials Science and Engineering teamed up with conservators from the Walters Art Museum to create a better way to protect silver art and artifacts.
Remote Joule heating: The strange tale of a carbon nanotube that behaves like a toaster that can burn bread without getting hot. Exactly what are its electrons up to?	In a single sample, this smart gel's chemical, mechanical and optical properties can change from one zone to another, even though they sometimes look the same.

I LIKE TO WRITE...

...and because most people don't, I found myself volunteering to write documentation, instructions, or other copy. As I got into content management and information architecture, writing requirements and other reports became a necessity. Because I wear many hats in my current position, I have written the copy seen in most of my print samples.

MY EXPERIENCE INCLUDES:

News, press releases, marketing copy, in-house manuals/how-to's, functional requirements, pseudo-code, and explaining advanced research in ways most people would understand and appreciate.
