“Leadership of a group of people, be it in the commercial sector, on community boards, or at an academic institution, is one of the hardest tasks one can tackle. I have often been asked by others, many not in academia, why it seems that “nothing gets done” or “change takes forever” at universities. It’s easy to point fingers at the leaders (e.g., department chairs, deans, provosts) as their job descriptions

Hydrogen is a clean fuel that can power vehicles with high efficiency and produce water as the only byproduct. However, hydrogen technologies face challenges that include low volumetric storage capacity. One way to increase volumetric capacity is to store hydrogen in solid state materials. MXenes represent the fastest-growing family of 2D transition metal carbides and nitrides. Owning to their attractive

Transitioning Electrochemical Technologies into Agriculture via the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center Model Electrochem. Soc. Interface Pub Date : 2023-09-01 Gerardine G. Botte
One of the most difficult challenges in translating electrochemical technologies into agriculture is the lag in education about the impact of electrochemical technologies in the field. Other challenges include lack of (1) investment and resources for translational research; (2) effective mechanisms to derisk investment; (3) a workforce prepared to translate and operate such technologies; (4) policy
