Circular economy strategies are great - but we need to evaluate them for cost effectiveness and environmental benefits - or a path towards those outcomes - with TEA, LCA, and other tools. Pleased to have a chance to write about this in Nature Synthesis!

I'm offering a 3-day LCA workshop for grad students - target audience is students who are doing experimental or theoretical research and want to add an LCA component to their work. This workshop runs Aug 5-7 at NU. …eeringsustainability.northwestern.edu/news-events/li…

The Hill-Maini lab website is live Stanford Bioengineering Stanford University. We are hiring for multiple postdocs who are excited about synbio/food/sustainability in filamentous fungi and building an inclusive and lab culture that fosters creativity! Spread the word!!! hillmainilab.com

How it started: Maggie joined my group as one of its first members in 2021. How its going: She makes amazing strides in her research and is a rising star in sustainability research; the university recognizes that! Northwestern Chemical & Biological Engineering

There is still time for undergraduates to apply for MICRO this year and conduct paid research with a lab Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) DMSE at MIT and Northwestern! Applications close on 8/5. Help us spread the word . mse-micro.net/take-action

Focus issue online: Electroreduction of CO2 for C–X bond formation nature.com/collections/eg… Editorial: Electrosynthesis of C–X bonds from CO2 Q&A: Marta Figueiredo Comments: B Zhang & H Wang World View: Jennifer Dunn Review: Kornienko & co-workers RHs: Ali Stoddart & Peter Seavill

It is a real gift to be Jennifer's colleague. As a latecomer to being an educator, I have learned so much from Jennifer. So well-deserved!

Natural gas is more than a boiler fuel or a plastics feedstock. It can also be converted to #graphite and #hydrogen, key ingredients of the energy transition. This strategy looks pretty good as we explain in this new publication in Resources, Conservation & Recycling : sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Very excited to be a part of this team!

Interviewed by Faye Flam for Bloomberg Opinion as part of her piece on the pros and cons of deep sea mining for #minerals central to energy transition technology. Would you give a green light to deep sea mining? bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Attention #catalysis folks! Come join us in Seattle for this year’s Pacific Coast Catalysis Society (PCCS) meeting at the University of Washington on 9/14/2024! It’s not too late to submit an abstract for a poster or presentation!

Amazing day at Universidad Católica for our U.S. National Science Foundation funded Global Center workshop on sustainable mineral supply chains. Looking forward to more discussions and connections tomorrow.

First full day of our Chilean Trek to learn about sustainable mineral supply chains. We toured Codelco's copper mine at Chuquicamata. We learned about water management and AI-enhanced safety. An amazing day!

Chile produces 25% of the world's battery grade Li. We visited SQM Group's Salar de Atacama facility and learned about their efforts to reduce brine extraction and other sustainability goals. #ChileGET24

Today we toured the Atacama Desert visiting lagoons, appreciating mountains, and enjoying wildlife, including the famous flamingos. #ChileGET24

At Universidad Católica's research station in Alto Patache learning about water scarce environments. Where clouds turn to fog.

Visited Capstone Copper in Mantoverde and learned about their 2 month old processing plant for sulfide ores. They use water from a desalination plant on the coast and plan to operate for decades to come.

We visited the Ministry of Mining and learned about the National Lithium Plan and other national plans that will guide the development of mining in Chile. #ChileGET24

This is truly amazing- sharing for awareness. #AIChE2024
