What is the best way to conduct meaningful science in such harsh and dangerous conditions?

Guidelines to better prepare for working with any outside expert who specializes in communication

Proximity boosts collaboration on MIT campus

Researchers suggest a new approach to scientific exploration that they call exploration telepresence

Meetings, emails, and presentations are often filled with a seemingly endless stream of jargon — such as ‘pick the low-hanging fruit’ or ‘think outside the box’ — that is supposed to serve as shorthand to help convey a message. Does it work? Does its overuse become cliché? Why do people rely on jargon to communicate?

Fiber optics has made communication faster than ever, but the next step involves a quantum leap –– literally. In order to improve the security of the transfer of information, scientists are working on how to translate electrical quantum states to optical quantum states in a way that would enable ultrafast, quantum-encrypted communications.
