When Pittsburgh Voyager began its unique river-based educational programs, I was in academe and was asked to join its Board of Directors.

But I still have a soft spot for the organization, which now has a new name that captures its spirit of experiential learning.

Twenty years after the first transatlantic fiber optic cable was laid, these strands of ultrapure glass continue to offer unrivaled bandwidths. They have evolved a long way from the first low-loss fiber demonstrated in the late 1960s.
