In the current context of seeking sustainable solutions to combat climate change, my colleague Saloa Vaquero along with the CATART Project, and I, as part of my master's thesis, are leading an innovative initiative. We mainly focus on the development and testing of photocatalytic materials for CO2 reduction and water splitting reactions. ☀ A notable aspect of this work is our commitment to adhering to the principles of green chemistry, with a central emphasis on synthesizing sustainable materials that minimize adverse environmental impacts. 🌱 In this video, we show the preparation process and operation of the photocatalytic reactor prior to each reaction. 👨🔬 If you want more detailed information, I leave here a link! https://lnkd.in/dUssTSXd

🔬 Just had an enlightening discussion with Mark Alessandroni on "The Exposure Scientist" podcast about the crucial role of analytical laboratories in environmental testing. Mark's extensive industry experience provided valuable insights into the challenges laboratories face and the importance of reliable sample analysis. Key Takeaways: 1. Communication is Key: Open, technical communication between data users and laboratories is essential to ensure the reliability and understanding of analytical results. 2. Continuous Improvement: Laboratories should foster a culture of continuous improvement, including internal audits and corrective actions, to identify deficiencies and enhance operations. 3. Accreditation Matters: Accreditation by organizations such as the NELAC Institute is crucial for ensuring that laboratories follow documented procedures and produce consistent, reliable results. Join me in learning more from experts in the field and gaining a deeper understanding of the vital work done in analytical laboratories. https://lnkd.in/g6iaqUVC #EnvironmentalScience #AnalyticalLaboratories #PodcastInterview #EnvironmentalTesting

Climate change poses an existential threat, yet synthetic biology offers hope. As outlined by Tom Baruch in his groundbreaking paper, The Synthetic Biology Climate Change Opportunity, it starts with thinking big but starting small, solving real problems, and relentlessly iterating. With investments pouring into synthetic biology, the potential to disrupt industries and combat climate change is tangible. However, building billion-dollar businesses in this space requires foresight and resilience. Learn what it takes to achieve synbio success. Join the panel hosted by Tom Baruch at SynBioBeta on May 7, 2024, “Can Synthetic Biology Heal Exponential Climate Change?” with industry leaders, Josh Silverman of Windfall, Charlie Dimmler of Checkerspot and August Fern of Baruch Future Ventures.

I am super excited and a little proud to share that I have been part of my first published scientific paper through my masters project, focusing on cumulative impacts of oil pollution and climate change on Arctic copepods. It has been a great experience for me, especially due to the teamwork with my supervisors, Sinja Rist and Torkel Gissel Nielsen, as well as the rest of the team behind it.

Founder and CEO: Allied Scholars for Animal Protection | Bioprocessing Senior Scientist, Cultivated Meat: GFI | Lifestyle Medicine
It was my absolute pleasure to interview one of the world's leading cultivated meat scientists and a professor at Texas A&M University, one of the largest universities in the world and a pioneer in agriculture. We hope that this interview can demonstrate the importance of public funding and support for alternative proteins, particularly cultivated meat. We need to develop a sustainable and resilient protein supply that can help prevent climate change and mitigate the risks of pandemics, zoonotic diseases, and antibiotic resistance. As avian flu spreads, it's more urgent than ever that both the public and private sectors support cultivated meat and alternative proteins. We don't have much time, and we need to do our best. Meanwhile, I'm grateful for scientists like Dr. Reza Ovissipour. Thank you for your contributions to advancing cultivated meat and for educating the next generation of scientists and workforce dedicated to food transformation! #altproteins #cultivatedmeat #science #texas #pandemics #climate #protein #avianflu
Texas is the #1 producer of conventional beef in the U.S. It's also poised to be a leader in cultivated meat technology, which would allow us to make the same beef consumers love in a far more sustainable way. GFI's bioprocessing senior scientist Faraz Harsini, MSc, PhD, DipACLM sat down with Reza Ovissipour, assistant professor at Texas A&M University, to learn more about the state of cultivated meat research and his efforts to turn Texas A&M into a training ground for future leaders in the field.
