Humboldters in the News: Lonny Grafman on the Waterpod: HSU dude Lonny Gafman interviewed about the Waterpod, a vessel docked in New York City that’s outfitted like something from Waterworld to show off various sustainability systems. Gafman’s students from HSU’s Environmental Resources Engineering Dept. designed 11 greenish projects for the Waterpod, including rainwater catchment and filtration systems, bicycle power, wind power, hydroponics, a composting toilet, and a chicken coop.

His name is Lonny Grafman, not “Gafman.” And why is he being referred to as an HSU “Dude” instead of HSU lecturer?

I think this post was just a quick mention.

Bob Doran wrote a much more complete piece at http://www.northcoastjournal.com/issues/2009/06/25/water-world/. Out of the many interviews about the Waterpod, the NCJ piece was one of the best.

PS Carolyn Zeibig is one of Humboldt’s most consummate copy-editors. I’m not sure if she is looking for a job in that area… but if so, hire her!
