Building Defense Research Capacity at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and Minority-Serving Institutions: Proceedings of Three Town Halls A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a series of three hybrid workshops to examine the key issues highlighted in the National Academies 2022 consensus study report, Defense Research Capacity at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Other Minority Institutions: Transitioning from Good Intentions to Measurable Outcomes. As Department of Defense and other partners sought to implement the 2022 report recommendations, key questions remained to be explored, particularly related to how to seek ways of building research capacity at minority institutions (MIs) and develop true partnerships between MIs, other institutions of higher education, and federal agencies. The workshops featured commissioned research and literature reviews as well as case studies to illuminate problems, barriers, and approaches to increase research capacity at Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

Alabama A&M University’s Bulldog Transit System (BTS) has been awarded an impressive $8.1 million grant through the Competitive Low-No Emissions Program for FY 2023. This grant marks a significant step towards AAMU’s ambitious goal of achieving a fully zero-emissions transit system by 2031. Since 2017, the university has been on a mission to transition to a sustainable and renewable energy future. This new funding will accelerate BTS's efforts by expanding its solar power microgrid system to 2.5 megawatts and enhancing infrastructure, including new electric buses, charging stations, and even a zero-emissions autonomous shuttle. “This initiative is not just about AAMU; it’s about setting a standard for environmental justice and sustainability that can inspire and guide other transit agencies across the country,” says Marshall Chimwedzi, Director of AAMU BTS. The project includes significant upgrades to the bus storage station, workforce development programs for solar and electric bus maintenance, and a timeline to achieve 100% zero emissions by 2031. This achievement highlights the power of partnerships and innovative thinking within the HBCU community and showcases the impactful role that HBCUs like Alabama A&M play in driving forward sustainability and environmental justice. Stay tuned as Alabama A&M leads the way in creating a greener, more sustainable future for us all! 🌍 #Sustainability #ZeroEmissions #HBCUs #EnvironmentalJustice #Innovation #BusinessCommunity #AAMU #HBCUBusinessDeans

So many aspects of our world — almost all the things we do, touch and know — come from science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). STEM helps us understand the world and gives us the tools and inventions to improve our lives. How do things work? What’s involved? It’s fascinating to break it down and understand how everyday activities link to STEM, encouraging everyone to see the relevance of science and engineering in their everyday lives. Discover how our faculty are creating innovative opportunities to increase students’ interest and knowledge in science, technology, engineering and mathematics in the latest edition of the University of Wyoming's College of Engineering and Physical Sciences Foresight Magazine at https://lnkd.in/guD9hHUe.

What a great conversation with three dynamic leaders on the Detroit Economic Club stage. Big takeaways: (1) We need to educate today’s students not only for their first job, but for the many jobs they'll have by the time they retire in the 2075 timeframe; (2) The URC is an economic powerhouse, contributing ~$24B per year to the state's economy; (3) It's all about the AND: the URC's goal is to make an impact greater than the sum of the parts. Thanks again to Kevin Guskiewicz, Kimberly Andrews Espy, Ph.D., and Santa J. Ono for their time and leadership!

Professor of evolutionary microbiology. Evangelist for the study of evolution in action by everyone. Founder of genomic analysis companies and an education nonprofit.
The Science & Technology Action Committee released a revealing report on the State of Science in America. They surveyed ~2000 people in the U.S. working in five sectors that intersect with science and technology — K-12 education, health care, business, military and national security, and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Top-line conclusions: "The United States is perceived to be losing the race for global leadership in science and technology" "The top obstacle to future scientific advancement in the United States is the quality of K-12 STEM education." I recommend reading the full report: https://lnkd.in/ejwcj93G. For a synopsis, Axios wrote a nice summary: https://lnkd.in/eP7ZKuWJ Thanks to the The Coalition for Life Sciences for sharing this report
