Composing a research symphony

Heidi Dempsey

Many talents contributed to one goal: a shared production-level research cloud. It was a chilly morning at Boston University, and I was looking for a quiet place to gather my thoughts and do some writing. I passed two painters covering up scuffs on the white walls and a man with a floor machine busily tracing […]
