The 300-ton Peter Green House will be placed on its new foundation at Brown and Angell streets today.

Would it be to mcuh to ask for the ProJo to mention the architect who is renovating the house and is responsible for the move. Why do we always get left out???!?!?!?!

For sale: 2 East Side houses, for $10 each. The only catch is that the houses have to be moved to new locations, preferably on the East Side. But the seller, Brown University, is even prepared to help in this endeavor, and has set aside up to $1 million to pay for moving costs.

ProJo has a video of this? ProJo? ProJo can barely get a paper printed everyday, and when they do there's precious little newsworthy in it, but they have time to do videos on fluff like this?

I've been doing more reading about this whole technology commercialization thing that the new RI-CIE is doing, and it's getting me HOT! I went to their opening workshop and blogged it on the New Commons site. Quick take: It's Brown U + EDC = RI Nexus for the Bio/Med cluster.

The idea is to create a conduit between the research institutions and companies that want to commercialize new technology. Since it's about the local research cluster, it tends to be in bio/med just because that's what they've got. Other similar places have different targets like aerospace or nanotechnology. This kind of center is even more important to the research folks than it is for the tech cluster because academic researchers and venture capitalists could not be more differenter. RI-CIE helps academics manage the way their work gets put into the market, and it helps the VCs feel more secure approaching super-genius inventors who may or may not have mad scientist tendencies.

RI-CIE is in Davol Square hard by 222 Richmond, so the "Knowledge Economy" district seems to be taking shape. Now all we need is those biotech companies to, you know, happen...
