    What do you mean refried? What about MIT?

    MIT is in the business of marketing MIT, and they are damn good at it. And I do think the people doing this work should be highlighted. However, it ends up being almost exclusively hype.

    Its a trope specifically related to MIT.

      Every university markets itself including the research university. Can’t we just accept that battery-free desalination is really cool and efficient? The fact that they were research students of MIT had not registered any land in my mind until you pointed it out.

        I understand your motivation and desire to not let the morons go un-opposed, I appreciate what you’ve done, but it’s time to leave the troll in it’s cave. The ogre will not turn to stone if it feels the touch of sun unfortunately. Shine your brightness in places it’ll be appreciated.
