[Editors] story ideas for radio

[Elizabeth Thomson]

Hi Everybody,

Susan Shepherd of NPR's Living on Earth program is "doing a piece on 
far-out, pie-in-the-sky research that seems to present a completely 
different way of thinking." The MIT stories she's already found that 
fit this bill include "biorubber" and "robotic ants."

Do you have any ideas? I have given her some, but would love others. 
And remember, this is radio, so research that includes interesting 
sounds is a plus.

Many thanks in advance!

Elizabeth
