Happy New Year from the top of Africa! It's never too late to start living your dreams. I reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro at 6.55am on 1/1/2024. #Kilimanjaro #Tanzania

Congratulations to Harry Cai and Lauren Cordova for winning awards for outstanding posters at the Cell Culture Engineering XVIII Conference in Cancun, Mexico!

[Maciek Antoniewicz @AntoniewiczLab]

Great to meet up with past Antonieiwcz Lab members Ellie Oates (PhD, 2020), Woo Suk Ahn (PhD, 2012), Harry Cai (current) and Lauren Cordova (BS, 2015 @Lauren_CQ) at the Cell Culture Engineering XIII Conference in Cancun, Mexico (April 23-28, 2023).

13C Metabolic flux analysis of 3T3-L1 adipocytes illuminates its core metabolism under hypoxia https://t.co/hZjSbxKl1S. Hypoxia reduces biosynthesis of mono-unsaturated fatty acids and odd-chain fatty acids from catabolism of branched chain amino acids. #flux #BCAA #metabolism

[Lauren Cordova @Lauren_CQ]

I think I have officially made it as a scientist... an external group published a genome scale model for an organism (Geobacillus sp. LC300) that I discovered and initially characterized ! 👩‍🔬🧪

[UD Engineering @UDengineering]

We are pleased to announce that our undergraduate Chemical Engineering (@UDChBE) program has placed second in the @usnews 2022-2023 Best Colleges rankings! https://t.co/Nfz3aa6DeY

[UD Engineering @UDengineering]

Congratulations 🎉 to our new @UDChBE department chair, @MillieMSullivan! Sullivan is an expert in drug and gene delivery, biomaterials and regenerative medicine. We'd also like to thank @EMFurst who has served as chair since 2017. https://t.co/s6NZWUvPhH #UDel #Hengineer

[Mark Blenner 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦🧬 @MarkBlenner]

Congrats to @MillieMSullivan who will serve as Department Chair for @UDChBE starting July 1. She is a great scholar, educator, and leader. I am thankful for all she has already done in service to the department, and I am excited to contribute towards achieving her shared vision.

Today I decided that #directedevolution is finally ready to be run entirely by #machinelearning. No more painful experiments to get your long-dreamed-for #enzymes! Grad students and postdocs can just push a button.

13C Metabolic flux analysis of #Clostridium ljungdahlii illuminates its core metabolism under #mixotrophic growth. No catabolite repression by fructose on the use of CO2/H2. #Autotrophic #metabolism via Wood-Ljungdahl pathway remains dominant. Read more https://t.co/JRbtgbtkZD

Our new work describing a “non-canonical” TCA cycle that is engaged in a cell-state dependent manner is out today in @Nature https://t.co/BqaDhp9YRO. Congratulations to lead authors @paigearnold2 @__btjackson @GSKGradSchool @MSKCancerCenter. A few highlights:

Coordinated reprogramming of metabolism and cell function in adipocytes from proliferation to differentiation. https://t.co/dwWlrc2FuD Morphological and biomass composition changes in adipocytes are accompanied by significant shifts in metabolic fluxes. #flux #metabolism #13Cflux

My article on gene synthesis is in @nytimes today. Thanks to everyone I spoke to at @TwistBioscience and @Ginkgo for your help and to @winstonxyan for originally tipping me off to the topic. https://t.co/vqL0hrRue3

Instead of sending waste to landfills, @umich engineers are leading a renewable methane system inspired by cow stomachs, which looks to generate 40% more power from municipal waste streams at a 20% reduced cost. https://t.co/OmEhVuSeOB

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

You are under no obligation to remain the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or even a day ago. You are here to create yourself, continuously.

[Maciek Antoniewicz @AntoniewiczLab]

Remembering H. Scott Fogler (1939-2021). He changed the chemical engineering profession as a researcher, scholar, author, and, most importantly, a skilled and accomplished educator. https://t.co/x1R7ttHNZ9

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.

[Sharon Glotzer @profglotz]

ChE @ Michigan mourns the unexpected loss of the venerable Professor Scott Fogler. He was a giant, and will be greatly missed.
