#ICYMI TMCF Chief Business & Legal Officer David K. Sheppard talks about the significance of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund HBCU Fly-In on The Daily Flash. The HBCU Fly-In is an opportunity for presidents and chancellors from HBCUs and PBIs, legislators, policymakers, and corporate leaders to come together to discuss the challenges and opportunities for HBCUs and PBIs, build on victories from last year, and learn more about where we believe we can make a significant contribution to the development of federal policy that impacts our institutions. https://lnkd.in/dEaQjBAt.

I had a great time facilitating a workshop entitled, "Practical Metacognitive Strategies for the College Classroom" at the 2024 Teaching, Learning, & Technology Conference (TLTCon 24). Many thanks to attendees for the great thoughts you shared throughout the session! 😊 #TLTCon24 #Metacognition #HigherEd #FacDev #EdDev

Texas’s loss to Georgia on Saturday night was devestating. However, they are so much more talented than their potential opponents as a #5 or #6 seed in the CFP, it’s unclear how much benefit they gain from getting a bye as a #1 or #2 seed. To answer this question, I pulled the Elo ratings for every team from the R package cfbfastR. I then made several CFP brackets with Texas at various seedings, and used the Elo ratings to calculate the chance of any team winning any given matchup. This let me simulate each bracket 10k times to investigate how UT’s loss impacted their chance of winning a title. It turns out, since they are so much talented than the opponents they’d face as a 5/6 seed, that they gain almost no benefit from a bye! Full write up here: https://lnkd.in/gp26gyCM

TOMORROW! Join the Graduate School and GSA tomorrow at 1:50 in the Student Center for games, conversations, and more information about John Carroll's Graduate Programs!

A great day for #aapi representation, and an example of publicly recognizing and acknowledging that success, change, and disruption of norms are possible if you make a commitment with resources and strategy. What we’ve seen and heard confirms that when people care about women’s sports we can bring progress and joy to communities, but that it also takes planning and effort. Hopefully this example will inform future approaches on development and cutting away at systemic inequalities.

📣 Exciting news for all attending the PNCWA conference in Boise, Idaho! 🚰 Join Tamzen Macbeth and a cast of experts tomorrow at 8:30 AM for an in-depth look at the future of PFAS water treatment solutions. 💡 In collaboration with CDM Smith's Charles Schaefer, Zoom Nguyen, Peter Murphy, and Chris Higgins, Tamzen will dive into our innovative pilot-scale research, including: ✅ Membrane filtration for PFAS removal ✅ SAFF™ (Surface Active Foam Fractionation) to concentrate PFAS ✅ Destructive technologies like plasma, ECO (Electrochemical Oxidation), and HALT™ to fully break down PFAS These advancements represent a major step toward total PFAS removal and sustainable water treatment solutions 🌍. We’re excited to share our progress and discuss how these technologies can be scaled for real-world application! Don't miss it, and be part of the conversation on the future of clean water. 💬💧 #PFAS #WaterTreatment #CDMSmith #SustainableSolutions #Nanofiltration #MembraneFiltration #SAFF #InnovativeTechnology #CleanWater #DestructiveTechnologies #PNCWA2024 #WaterIndustry #FOMO #PFAS_Treatment #Leadership #Innovation #Technology

For my colleagues attending the PNCWA conference in Boise, Idaho, come see our presentation suite! On Wednesday at 8:30 am, I'll present advances in PFAS water treatment that are beginning to see promise for a total PFAS solution with co-authors Charles Schaefer, Zoom Nguyen, Peter Murphy, and Christopher Higgins. Our latest research highlights a comprehensive treatment train at the pilot scale, featuring membrane filtration to remove PFAS, surface active foam fractionation (SAFF™) to concentrate PFAS from the membrane reject stream, and innovative destructive technologies like plasma, electrochemical oxidation (ECO), and HALT™ for the complete breakdown of PFAS. These advancements aim to reduce the environmental impact of PFAS and our research is showing promise for viable destructive solutions with potential for large-scale water treatment applications. #PFAS, #watertreatment, #nanofiltration, #membranefiltration, #SAFF™, #destructivetechnologies, #completesolutions
