For quite a while now, Roger Billings has been providing a free educational program called Science Live. I noticed recently that the show now has its own web site at sciencelive.com with extra downloads and past episodes sorted by category.  It is a gold mine for Roger Billings fans like this one. 

Check it out: Science Live with Roger Billings

Roger Billings Mentored by Bill Lear


It is still amazing to me that Roger Billings was helped to get his start from the inventor of the Lear Jet, William P. Lear or "Bill" as he was commonly known.  This photo from Roger Billings' Instagram shows the day back around 1973 when Bill Lear came to see the Model A Ford that Roger Billings had converted to run on hydrogen.  The high school project won Billings' the International Science Fair.

Roger Billings on Instagram


I recently "discovered" Roger Billings on Instagram.  I did not know he had so much on there.  There are super recent photos from some his talks as well as some old photos that I haven't found before.  I also really like some of the quote images.

If you are a fellow Roger Billings fan, you are going to really like this page.

Roger Billings Invited by US Army to Submit Proposal


Another blast from at the past: Back in 2011, this press release on Newswire says that US Army invited Roger Billings to submit proposal regarding "the research and development of a low latency, multi-node communication architecture based on the concept of Low Latency Networking."  From what I can tell in the announcement, it has to do with speeding up communications in military applications.  It says the technology could also be used for "cluster computing environments where the very low latency will produce significant improvements in performance of distributed or shared memory systems."

It sounds like the Army gave him a "Phase I" contract and then invited him to submit a "Phase II" contract -- I guess that means they liked what they saw in the first phase.  Sounds like neat tech.  I'll keep looking for more references on it.

Roger Billings on CybrSecurity Corporation


I noticed that Roger Billings was on the keynote panel for Defense TechConnect in Tampa, Florida last month talking about cybersecurity and his company, CybrSec (CybrSecurity Corporation).  According to the event's site, Defense TechConnect (DTC) Summit, co-located with the Fall SBIR/STTR Innovation Summit, brings together defense, private industry, federal agency, and academic leadership to accelerate state-of-the-art technology solutions for the warfighter and national security.

It looks like CybrSec was a major sponsor of the event and CybrSec's Warfighter Authentication and Secure Communication (WASC) System was a winner of the 2018 DTC Innovation Award.

I had not heard of CybrSec before so I was very interested to see their web site with a video about the system and what looks like some pretty amazing tech for Department of Defense (DoD) cybersecurity.

Roger Billings Speaks to Educators

Roger BillingsFor those of us who are hydrogen energy enthusiasts, the new Acellus Blog for Educators by Roger Billings is turning into a real treat.

The blog covers educator specific topics like new course announcements and tips for using the newer capabilities of the Acellus educator tools, but it also occasionally dives into side topics of tech, inspiration, and (you guessed it) hydrogen as a fuel.  I especially enjoyed recent posts commemorating the first hydrogen car as well as insight from Lear Jet inventor, Bill Lear.

Take a look and let us know what you think.
