A graduate of MIT (ScB and ScM) and Harvard (ScD), Gene was a prominent and tireless advocate of alternative energy research and, in particular, of Aetherometric Science and Technology. A leading scientist, engineer and communicator, widely published author and journalist, he was an intimate collaborator of the Correas, an active member of the Aurora Biophysics Research Institute (in charge of Demonstration Devices and Educational Materials) and of the International Society of Friends of Aetherometry (ISFA), a co-inventor of the HYBORAC technology, and the main evaluator of ABRI technologies, as well as their first sponsor. Together with Uri Soudak, Gene had been, during the last 4 years of his life, a leading negotiator and representative of the Correas, and in personal charge of the Aethera joint effort. He was the founder and President of the New Energy Foundation, and the founder and prominent Editor-in-Chief of the bi-monthly Journal Infinite Energy, in which, at his invitation, the Correas published extensively. Earlier, while he was Chief Science Writer for the MIT News Office (1987 to 1991), Gene was responsible for blowing the whistle on the scientific fraud surrounding the MIT suppression of so-called Cold Fusion. From 1988 to 1990, he was also Adjunct professor at Boston University School of Communication. Author of The Quickening Universe, The Starflight Handbook and Fire From Ice.
