Apparently appalled at the condition of the airship, McWade wrotedirectly to the Air Ministry Office in London, pointing out the seriousness of thesituation. However, his supervisor did not pass the memo to the secretary of the AirMinistry, but rather sent it to the director of development at the Royal Airship Works,one R. B. Gilmore. Thus, the first formal sounding of alarm was sent to the partycharged with keeping the R-101 on schedule. In response, Gilmore returned a soothingmemo claiming the problems well in hand, and McWade’s warning never reached the AirMinistry.

Look for ways to make time by blurring boundaries between research and teaching. In extreme cases, educators/researchers have formulated their research to include teaching issues (focus on educational technology, focus on how to teach x). However, such extreme cases are not the only ways to do this. Other strategies include having students read papers relevant to your research, having students do projects relevant to your research, using your research as examples in your teaching. 4.
