Three major research projects have been awarded $1.8 million in funding from #UTSC Clusters of Scholarly Prominence program. These projects, investigating in hazardous chemicals, community resilience and creativity will support the campus’ long-term goals and bring together experts from different disciplines. https://bit.ly/3VPHhtF

An international team of scientists including three AMBER Researchers has discovered the anti-icing secret of polar bear fur – something that allows one of the planet’s most iconic animals to survive and thrive in one of its most punishing climates. That secret? Greasy hair. This exciting work may lead to #materialsscience applications including forever chemical alternatives to anti-ice surface coating and clothing. The AMBER researchers involved were; Royal Society-Science Foundation Ireland University Research Fellow and Research Assistant Professor at the School of Chemistry Richard Hobbs, Chemistry Professor Paula Colavita and Julian Carolan PhD all of Trinity College Dublin. This work was supported by a team of international collaborators and the Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in the Advanced Characterization of Materials, Research Ireland and the AMBER Centre.

Insightful session!

🔬 Day in the Life of Daniel N. 🌱 Join our KTP Associate, in collaboration with The Manchester Metropolitan University, as he takes us behind the scenes of his lab work! ✅ All analyses are carried out in line with British Standards Institution guidelines. ✅ Focusing on the physical and chemical characterisation of recovered materials, including testing for pH, inorganic, and organic contaminants. ✅ Exploring future uses for recovered materials to drive sustainability and innovation. Stay tuned for more insights from Dan! 🧪✨ - - - #Innovation #Sustainability #BSIStandards KTP Manchester Met #mmu #ManMetUni #ManchesterMetropolitanUniversity #MaterialScience #EnvironmentalResearch #FutureFocused #LabLife #ScienceInAction #CircularEconomy #GreenSolutions #ResearchAndDevelopment #EcoInnovation #RecoveredMaterials

Scientific rigor is essential to building trust, combating misinformation, and advancing research that makes a real-world impact. In collaboration with institutions nationwide, Penn Engineering hosts C4R: the Community for Rigor, a multidisciplinary initiative led by Konrad Kording. From research design to statistical analysis, C4R provides free, open educational resources to improve scientific practices at every stage. This collaborative effort shapes a culture of rigor across disciplines, ensuring research remains credible, replicable and impactful. With four educational units already launched and a thriving network of researchers, educators and students, C4R is setting a new standard for scientific excellence. https://bit.ly/3Vfskkn

This year, EREF welcomed 18 new scholars, including Paulina Alulema-Pullupaxi, who is conducting research at the University of Maine. Her work supports decision-makers in developing disposal guidelines for PFAS-laden granular activated carbon (GAC) in municipal solid waste landfills—aiming to reduce the risks PFAS poses to the environment and human health. Are you a master's or PhD student researching solid waste issues like Paulina? We want to support you! 🌟 The window to apply for a 2025 EREF Scholarship opens December 15. These scholarships recognize excellence in master's and doctoral research in waste management. Learn more about the application process and eligibility criteria here: erefdn.org/scholarships. ⏳ The application window closes on March 3, 2025. #EnvironmentalResearch #ScholarshipOpportunity #EnvironmentalScience

🎉Congratulations to DI. Celine H. at Montanuniversität Leoben, who was awarded the Industrial Chemistry & Materials Poster Prize for her outstanding work at "Data-Driven Discovery in the Chemical Sciences Faraday Discussion". ICM look forward to seeing the continued integration of data science in chemistry and its potential to unlock new frontiers in the field.
