Symbolic of FSU's need to invest in STEM -- Ben Wang, the Director of the High Performance Materials Institute and inventor of buckypaper, has left FSU for Georgia Tech. FSU cannot afford to lose its top researchers in engineering such as Wang, and badly need to make some high impact investments to replace departing faculty such as him. Wang was also a VP for research at FSU. Another big loss for the university, and the unfortunate thing is we are not seeing similar level hiring of senior faculty in STEM.
