Today In Illinois Research

 

March Madness, Research Edition

I really enjoy watching March Madness games, particularly since our men's team just made it to the Sweet 16. It is terrific to see the spotlight shine brightly on colleges and universities across the nation. Wouldn’t it be fun if the media covered research and innovation in the same way that they cover basketball?
