The LHC will be a highly cost-effective way for the United States to continue at the forefront of high energy physics research. The cost to the United States will be about 10 percent of total LHC costs, whereas U.S. researchers will make up about 20 percent of the users when the accelerator is completed. One of Alberts' chief allies is IU biology professor J. Jose Bonner. An interview with Bonner and Alberts appeared in a fall 1997 issue of Business Week . Bonner and Alberts worked with ETS officials to institute two significant changes in the way the biology SAT is now being administered.
Students can also choose between ecology and molecular biology versions of the exam.
The calls originated from IU's Indianapolis campus. Ala. NASA sent them to Maryland, where they were connected with a satellite uplink to Moscow.

During the January exchange, Wolf sent New Year's greetings to the fans attending the IU-Michigan basketball game at Assembly Hall in Bloomington. The projects had the distinction of being the longest remote link made with the VIC Network.
