Nanoengineering Cellulose for Environmental & Biomedical Applications
Thursday, April 16, 2020 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Soaring population growth, supply and demand imbalance, shortage of ready-to-use remedies, and urbanization have imposed unprecedented challenges to satisfying the world’s essential needs for water, healthcare, food, and energy. I aim to address some of the quintessential challenges of the 21st century in water treatment and precision medicine by designing conceptually novel soft material platforms based on micro- and nanoengineering the most abundant natural bioproducts. My overarching goal is to provide transformative and/or translational solutions based on highly renewable resources that can set the stage for the adoption of affordable, widespread technologies with immediate benefits for humans and ecosystems. In this talk, I will detail how nanoengineering the most abundant biopolymer in the world, cellulose, has led to the invention of biomass-based, environmentally friendly threshold (ppm level) antiscaling additives and scale-resistant membranes. I will introduce a fundamentally novel family of nanocelluloses, named hairy cellulose nanocrystals, and explain how they overcome the limitations of current nanocelluloses, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), to open new horizons in environmental and biomedical applications. This nanomaterial platform shows the power of harnessing nature’s building blocks to produce functional soft matter. Colloidal particles, polymers, gels, foams, dispersions, and emulsions created from this abundant resource can leverage eminent, cost-effective technologies for improving the quality of modern life.

Understanding POUR - The Basics of Universal Design for Learning
Wednesday, March 25, 2020 1:00 PM CDT - 2:00 PM EDT
For many of us in education, accessibility guidelines can be confusing. Fortunately, they can be distilled into four core principles, as captured by the acronym POUR (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable and Robust). Many of the learning materials educators use in classrooms and labs are self-created and understanding how to make them accessible to all students including those with disabilities is critical. Experts from the National AEM Center at CAST, in collaboration with the NSF funded ATE Central project, will offer practical, applied techniques that educators can implement right away. Instructors can build upon their higher-level understanding of the POUR core qualities to ensure their classroom materials “are accessible and work for all learners from the start, by design.”

Designing for Accessibility with POUR
Monday, June 10, 2019 1:00:00 PM EDT - 2:30:00 PM EDT
Many of the learning materials educators use in the classroom (such as lecture handouts and the course syllabus) are self-created and understanding how to make them accessible to all students including those with disabilities is critical. The authoring tools used to create these materials often include options for adding accessibility into the content creation workflow. However, accessibility guidelines are often written in technical language that can be confusing to even veteran developers. Fortunately, they can be distilled into four core principles, as captured by the acronym POUR (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable and Robust), that define four qualities of an accessible user experience. Using the revision of a course syllabus as the context, this webinar, brought to you by the NSF funded AccessATE project and the National AEM Center at CAST, offers practical, applied techniques educators can implement right away.Instructors can build upon their higher-level understanding of the POUR core qualities to ensure their classroom materials “are accessible and work for all learners from the start, by design.”

Three Common Evaluation Fails and How to Prevent Them
Wednesday, January 30, 2019, 1-2 pm, ET
In this webinar, experienced STEM education evaluator Kirk Knestis shares strategies for effectively communicating with evaluation clients to avoid three common "evaluation fails." (1) Project implementation delays; (2) evaluation scope creep (clients wanting something more or different from what was originally planned); and (3) substantial changes in the project over the course of the evaluation. These issues are typical causes for an evaluation to be derailed and fail to produce useful and valid results. Webinar viewers learn how clear documentation--specifically, an evaluation contract (legal commitment to the work), scope of work (detailed description of evaluation services and deliverables), and study protocol (technical details concerning data collection and analysis)--can make potentially difficult conversations go better for all involved, averting potential evaluation crises and failures. Getting these documents right and using them in project communications helps ensure a smoothly operating evaluation, happy client, and profitable project for the evaluator.

Tell a good story: Crafting mission statements and messages for your ATE project or center
Tuesday, January 29, 1-2 pm ET
The root of the word "communication" is "communis," meaning to make common. Unfortunately, many of us in the education and grant-funded sectors struggle with identifying the main messages we need to make common to our key stakeholders. And for many of us in the ATE community, we could use help in creating simple, memorable ways to speak and write consistently about our project and center’s work. Clearly defined and consistently implemented mission statements and messaging platforms are key to ensuring that all points of contact with your project or center will reinforce the right messages.
In this live webinar, were joined by Farra Trompeter, Vice President of Big Duck – a communications firm that works exclusively with nonprofits based in Brooklyn NY, and Rachael Bower, Director/PI of ATE Central, who review how these messaging elements can be created to more effectively engage students, partners, funders, and other key external audiences. Those who attended the pre-ATE conference workshop will recognize a topic we revisit: the relationship between brand strategy (positioning and personality) and messaging. Farra provides some examples of how other organizations define and use these tools with examples you can learn from, as Rachael helps connect lessons from the wider nonprofit world to the ATE community.
