In the April 9 issue of Chemical and Engineering News, Britt Erickson reviews the hundred-year history of Research Corporation. The corporation was originally started by an inventor named Frederick Cottrell and in the hundred years mutated to a technology transfer company and a traditional foundation. It has been responsible for the development of various new technologies and the career development of many notable scientists through grants.
Dr. James Gentile is the current President. The most notable point of Britt's article is the following statement by Pres. Gentile,, "My goal was to bring in external money [for grants], not federal money." Hooray for Dr. Gentile and the Research Corporation. Apparently, capitalism is still alive.
