Local Innovation & #MCubed – Hashtags of the Week (HOTW): (Week of October 13, 2014)

Last week saw the second annual MCubed Symposium. For those who aren’t aware of MCubed already, here is a little background about this fabulously creative approach to funding and fostering innovation and collaboration at the University of Michigan.

MCubed – The University of Michigan’s revolutionary new way to fund research  <a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akBGSlFn9nQ&#8221; title=”MCubed – The University of Michigan’s revolutionary new way to fund research”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akBGSlFn9nQ</a&gt;

Eventually there will be videos up for this year’s presentations (<a href=”http://mcubed.umich.edu/mcubed_2014/schedule.html&#8221; title=”MCubed 2014 Schedule”>schedule</a>), <a href=”https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEEZFNZ4nUECYcVW_-FQxokUjZ5b6D7CX&#8221; title=”Youtube Playlist: MCubed Symposium 2013″>like there were last year</a>, but for now you’ll have to settle for some tweets to introduce the high points.

Can’t wait! RT @umich: See 200 innovative research projects by faculty at #MCubed! http://t.co/nIwLVYsdFa pic.twitter.com/phdtentnhj
