uBeamakin' it Big

If you missed all the hype about uBeam back in June, the interview of inventor Meredith Perry (C'11) on NPR is a good reason to start paying attention. The conversation plugs (we made a pun) the product, a wireless apparatus that uses ultrasound frequencies to charge electronic devices, while also addressing the potential directions Perry could take with her impressive gadget.

Patents, investors, a business model - surely a lot to think about. But most importantly: Meredith, every listserv thanks you now that no one has to ask who in VP has an "extra" charger to borrow.
