Now under construction near the Kelley School of Business, Multidisciplinary Science Building Phase II follows Simon Hall's example of creating lab, office and common-use space that encourages collaboration among scientists from different fields. It is expected most of MSB II's future residents will come from the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and the departments of Geological Sciences, and Psychological and Brain Sciences.

Scientist at work: Roger Temam
For the past 10 years a tree has been growing in the field of mathematics. Its branches consist of more than 130,000 mathematicians who have registered on a Web site for the Mathematics Genealogy Project. The project allows those interested to trace their academic lineage -- or who studied with whom -- back as far as 1650 to legends such as Euler and Legrange. And it enables professors to track their own students on the mathematical family tree. Recently, Indiana University Professor Roger Temam celebrated his 100th registered mentee -- more than any other individual on the tree.

Beth Plale, associate professor in the Indiana University School of Informatics, Department of Computer Science, has received a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to develop a digital toolkit to help researchers more easily capture information about their scientific work. Perhaps most importantly, the new tools will create a kind of "digital tagging," keeping research intact as it passes from one scientist to another.
