Shaking his moneymaker here, there, and everywhere

Our resident workaholic Dada made the university's front page AGAIN. This particular news story showcases a line of research that is entirely different from his last article, because if Dada doesn't have his fingers in about nine different kinds of pie at a time he is bored. Because he is five years old.

In this case he dips into Delaware's most venerable piggy bank, that of the DuPont corporation. In the early days of chemical manufacture they seriously contaminated a particular river with a sizeable quantity of mercury. They have asked Dada and a fantastic gentleman from the Geology department to help them determine the scope of the problem. Out of this project, Dada gets a bunch of research dollars and a Master's thesis for one of his grad students. He also gets to hang out in the Shenandoah National Forest from time to time and eat steak on DuPont's dollar when he goes there. And he deserves it, our busy little breadwinner.

We love you, Dada!
