Funding for the E6 project    is  coming  from  the federal Knowledge Infrastructure Program and the    provincial government, and government officials will be on hand for the    groundbreaking ceremony at 2:00. o Somebody asked the other day how UW can    have an Engineering 5 (already under construction) and Engineering 6, when    there  are a 2 and a 3 but there's no 4. Explanation: the present Carl    Pollock Hall was originally Engineering 4; it got its new name in 1979.    [11]Back to top 'Science matters' lecture tomorrow at 9    Pro-science journalist and blogger Chris Mooney, once named one of Wired    magazine's ten sexiest geeks, will speak tomorrow under the rubric of UW's    Science and Technology Matters Lecture. Mooney, who holds a Knight Science    Journalism Fellowship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will    speak on Why Scientific and Technological Literacy is Important , starting    at 9 a.m. in the Humanities Theatre.    [Mooney] Mooney (right), who is also contributing editor to Science Progress    and  senior  correspondent  for The American Prospect magazine, is an    accomplished public speaker and gifted writer who is a strong advocate for    responsible scientific and technological advances in society, says Ken    Coates, dean of the faculty of arts. There is widespread agreement that the    main challenges of this century revolve around science and technology, and    we need public figures like Chris to spread the cause.    Mooney is the author of three critically acclaimed books, including the New    York Times best-selling The Republican War on Science
