Acceleration in collaboration between researchers, more funding from outside of Utah, more high end jobs in Utah, increased prominence for Utah's research universities, and progress toward solving big issues: these are some of the hoped-for benefits of recruiting leading scientists to Utah under the USTAR initiative and they are materializing, as the experience of the University of Utah's Imaging Technology team shows.
I've been emailed pitches for my blogs before, but I recently got one which seemed so suspect that I didn't even feel comfortable clicking on any of the links they provided.
Was it from a legitimate company or was it spam? The fact that I even had to ask that question means that this is a great opportunity to figure out what they did wrong, and what can be learned from it.
No shortage of really bad ideas find(s) their way around the nation's capital on a regular basis. One of the worst is now rearing its ugly head again...
