Graduate Student or Graduate Employee?
Lately I have been thinking that "Graduate Student" is a misnomer. The correct title should be "Graduate Research Assistant" or "Graduate Engineer". After more than a year spent in industry, I think that there really is no difference in the work done. Except that the work environment is more flexible in academia.

Kindle - The Future of Ink, part 2
A year ago in my first post, The Future of Ink, I explored e-ink technology and the e-book concept when the potential was still largely unseen. But since then, the industry has completely transformed, and the prospect of the e-book is beginning to be realized.
Science, as some see it...
I came across some content I used to have on my webpage a long time ago.

stable elements for mixed elasticity

I'm very interested in the choice of the finite element spaces for elasticity. I want to choose elements for the stress and the velocity, I was suggested to use piecewise constant for the stress and piecewise linear for the velocities to satisfy the Babuska-Brezzi condition. Is that right? I've heard that I can't use only 6 components for the stress in this way, but I must add some additional constraint to enforce its simmetry. I'm looking for additional documentation, but I can't find any. Has someone got any suggestion? Thanks.
The leaky pipeline
A new report has been published on the "leaky pipeline" question:
A persistent problem. Traditional gender roles hold back female scientists
What's Your Problem?
Rather than scratching heads when faced with a seemingly impossible contradiction in a job, engineers could do worse than apply the Triz theory.
There has been quite a buzz around Triz, the Russian theory of problem solving, for some time. Since it was fully refined in the mid-1980s its use has been slowly spreading as word gets round, much like the increasing popularity of a political movement.
