So what does it take to be a female STEM leader? Dr Michelle Khine, biomedical engineering professor at the University of California, Irvine, and scientific co-founder of stem cell biotechnology company Novoheart, offers her insights.
Amir AghaKouchak, a University of California-Irvine professor who co-authored the study, warned that the upward trend in the number and intensity of wildfires will likely continue, due to a combination of worsening climate change and population growth.
At a meeting I can really pay attention to the presentations and think about the new work that is being reported,” says [associate professor] Iryna Zenyuk, who leads a group developing fuel-cell and hydrogen technologies at the University of California, Irvine.
Taking inspiration from squid skin, researchers have invented an adaptive composite material that can insulate beverage cups, restaurant to-go bags, parcel boxes, and even shipping containers. … “The metal islands in our composite material are next to one another when the material is relaxed and become separated when the material is stretched, allowing for control of the reflection and transmission of infrared light or heat dissipation,” says Alon Gorodetsky, associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the University of California, Irvine.
