In the Hall

A NASA engineer and a Nobel Laureate are among a group of seven inventors recently inducted into the Florida Inventors Hall of Fame, which is at USF in Tampa.

The 2016 Hall of Fame Class will be inducted at the Florida Inventors Hall of Fame third annual induction ceremony and gala Sept. 16. Nominees must have at least one U.S. patent and a connection to Florida.

“Collectively, the seven 2016 inductees hold more than 90 U.S. patents,” says Randy Berridge, chair of the selection committee. “Among them are representatives of two storied U.S. agencies, a nonprofit research institute and five Florida research universities.”
