SciTech in a FlashSustainably Sourced InstrumentsFirst introduced in 12th century Europe, the guitar is now a ubiquitous musical instrument. Guitars are made from the rarest forms of wood and it has become increasingly difficult to source that wood from the tropics. Our environmental reporting partner EarthFix brings us to the damp forests of the Pacific Northwest, home to the fast-growing big leaf maple tree, which may offer a solution for sourcing wood for ethical and sustainable instruments.

SciTech in a FlashInside the World of RoachesIn the first episode of SciTech in a Flash, we dive into the world of creepy, crawly, cockroaches. The pesky cockroaches we sometimes find in kitchens, sewers and basements make up less than one percent of all cockroach species. Researchers estimate there are as many as 20,000 roach species on the planet and less than 5,000 have been catalogued. Our partners at Science Friday bring us inside a cockroach research lab, working to identify different species, at Rutgers University in New Jersey.

Leonard Legal Buzz“Issues to Consider in SciTech Litigation”Featuring Leonard, Street and Deinard attorneys James G. Bullard and I. Daniel Colton.
There is a fundamental divide between scientists and lawyers. The divide can be wide and deep, and it strongly impacts how practitioners in these disciplines think, communicate and work together. To succeed in SciTech litigation, where the issues at stake hinge on science and technology, you need a team that can cross this divide, work together effectively, and explain your case—in court—persuasively and in ordinary language the judge and jury will understand.2007-07-1825 min
