Proud to be a woman in engineering! Happy International Day of Women and Girls in STEM to all of my fellow engineers and scientists. Later this month, I’m looking forward to give back to this community by participating in SWE Fest, where engineering departments from NC State, Duke, UNC, and ECU will come together to inspire the next generation of female-identifying high school students. The NC State Materials Science and Engineering department will be there, highlighting the incredible opportunities our field has to offer!

Before I read Véronique Balland's excellent work on PCET with metal oxides, I thought aqueous acidic electrolytes were more or less alike (materials-centric thinking 🙃 ) Luckily for me, we met in person at the 2023 PCET meeting in Spain, and our shared interest resulted in a Review (with Noah Holzapfel), which is now available: Fundamentals of Proton-Insertion Coupled Electron Transfer (PICET) in Metal Oxides for Aqueous Batteries https://lnkd.in/g_4rf99s

Exciting news for NC State Engineering and our friends at NC State Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering! 🎉 Lawrence Twisdale, a distinguished alum of CCEE (’69, ’70), has made a generous $4M gift, establishing the first named department head position at NC State College of Engineering and a professorship. His planned estate gift will also help attract top faculty and students. Twisdale’s legacy in disaster-resilient design will continue to inspire future generations of engineers. 🔗 Full story: http://ncst.at/jnjp50UWUhJ #NCStateEngineering #Leadership #CCEE

Today marks 10 years since the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed February 11th as International Day of Women and Girls in Science. As a champion of women engineers for 75 years, SWE shares and celebrates the UN's goal of promoting full and equal access to and participation in STEM for women and girls! #IDWGS #WomenInScience #GirlsInScience

Take a break and recharge—it's Wellness Day! ☀️💆♂️🐺 No classes, no assignments—just time to focus on your well-being. How are you spending your day? #WellnessDay #ThinkAndDo

Advancing RNA Nanotechnology: Helixomer at GRC Ventura, CA Exciting times for RNA innovation! Prof. LaBean, our Chief Scientific Officer at Helixomer, recently participated in the RNA Nanotechnology Gordon Research Conference (GRC) in Ventura, CA. This conference brought together leading researchers and industry experts to discuss the latest advancements in RNA-based therapeutics and nanostructures. At Helixomer, we are pioneering RNA origami to develop next-generation precision medicines. Engaging with fellow scientists and innovators at GRC reinforced the immense potential of RNA folding in drug development, targeted therapies, and beyond. A big thank you to the organizers and all the brilliant minds driving RNA nanotechnology forward. Looking ahead to continued collaboration and breakthroughs in the field!

Happy Wellness Day, Pack! 🧘🐺 No classes today = the perfect time to recharge. But what about the days when your to-do list feels overwhelming? Welcome to our first Mental Health Minute - a new series where we share quick tips to support your well-being. Today, our embedded counselor, Emily, introduces the 45-15 rule: work for 45 minutes, then take a 15-minute break to reset. Small pauses can make a big difference in your focus and stress levels. 😎 📩🧠 Do you have a topic you’d like us to cover relating to being a design student and wellness? Let us know in the comments or send us a DM!
