Follow Jason Stockwell, director of UVM's Rubenstein Ecosystem Science Lab, and his students onto Lake Champlain as they spend an afternoon and evening studying mysis shrimp's movements before and after sunset.

James Vincent is the director of the Bioinformatics Core at the Vermont Genetics Network at the University of Vermont.

Why we picked him: James has transferred more than 5TBs of data in less than one month. He has transferred data between several TereGrid/XSEDE resources (including Blacklight, Golem, Lonestar, Ranch and Ranger) and also between his Vermont site and XSEDE resources. He has obtained stellar transfer rates — as high as 1.3 Gbps!

For scientists using the information highway faster is better, and life in the slow lane can be detrimental to research. So a $1 million dollar grant from the National Science Foundation is helping upgrade the existing data system between Vermont State Colleges and UVM. They want to switch to a high speed fiber optic network that would be 33 times faster than the system's current speed.

Timothy Donovan is chancellor for the Vermont State College system and he joins The :30 to explain how this project got a green light and why.
