Always exciting to launch a new algae strain but even more so when it’s a macro algae strain! This is a first for @ASU_AzCATI. Everyone watching it swirl. Simulating on shore production of macro algae for #DISCOVR project for @BioenergyKDF @ASUResearch @ASUEngineering

110 kilos frozen #algae paste green goodness heading to our partners @NREL for conversion to #biofuels and #bioproducts and nutrients coming back to grow more #algae with our partners at @LosAlamosNatLab and the @BioenergyKDF MORE project. @SSEBEatASU @ASUResearch

[AzCATI @ASU_AzCATI]

What a treat having current and former @ASU_AzCATI peeps gathering @jamcgowen house for some merry making holiday food and drink and fun. Especially rewarding to see how many former students and staff came! A nice #algae reunion and a great @ASUResearch @ASUEngineering team.

Happy Friday from @ASU_AzCATI We’ll be harvesting thru the weekend and up thru next Wednesday wrapping up our fall cultivation trials for #DISCOVR @BioenergyKDF before 🦃-day and some much needed rest and relaxation for the best crew in #algae @ASUEngineering @ASUResearch

[AzCATI @ASU_AzCATI]

10 seconds of #algae zen after a productive 2 days of meetings hosted @ASU_AzCATI with the DOE @BioenergyKDF and 6 project teams all funded on the same FOA building community and sharing challenges and toolkit development for improving algae productivity. @SSEBEatASU @ASUResearch

[AzCATI @ASU_AzCATI]

Happy Fall! Launched our cool weather #algae strains into our newest ponds just in time for a cool down this week. Looking forward to some harvest/recycle experimentation when it’s nicer for us humans to be outside. Algae-spice latte anyone? @SSEBEatASU #DISCOVR @BioenergyKDF
