Cool Science
I found this through filk, of all places.
Dr. Jordin Kare, the Science GOH at Marcon this year, is talking about one of his recent projects. They used some 1980's "Star Wars" technology to develop a laser gun to kill mosquitoes (for malaria prevention). No kidding.

Now at least I know what he's been working on, since I'm supposed to do an introduction at his first panel.
