Buffalo Business First features Bina Ramamurthy, director of the Blockchain ThinkLab at UB, in a story on local efforts tied to blockchain and crypotocurrency. 

Ramamurthy wrote four "Blockchain Specialization” courses for Coursera, which have since been taken by hundreds of thousands of students. Her “blockchain application development” course at UB was full this semester at 125 students. She decided to run the course again next semester; it filled up immediately, Business First reports.

“Think about a Buffalo Blockchain Alley – a learning point and a research point for anyone in the community,” Ramamurthy said. “This will be a physical space where anyone can walk or take the train. We’ll get them started. After that, it’s up to them."
