As the landscape of science evolves to become more diverse, it is crucial to reflect on our historical roots to ensure a welcoming future. Associate Professor of Instruction, Stephanie Knezz, takes a unique approach by using the first day of her introductory and organic chemistry classes to delve into the real-world consequences of science's homogeneous past. Learn more about how Stephanie’s innovative teaching practice is making a profound impact on the STEM education experience at Northwestern
In the dynamic world of polymer science, connections catalyze change. Last summer, Julia Kalow and Jill Alty (MIT), joined forces to start a conference for women and gender minorities in polymer science. Recognizing the broad scope of polymer science, encompassing engineering, physics, and biology, the two women identified a gap in uniting these diverse disciplines. Their belief in the transformative power of conferences to spark creativity and foster collaborations fueled their determination to create a platform where women and gender minorities could connect, share cutting-edge research, and collectively address unique challenges.
Researchers led by John Rogers and collaborators at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a new, first-of-its-kind sticker that enables clinicians to monitor the health of patients’ organs and deep tissues with a simple ultrasound device.
When attached to an organ, the soft, tiny sticker changes in shape in response to the body’s changing pH levels, which can serve as an early warning sign for post-surgery complications such as anastomotic leaks. Clinicians then can view these shape changes in real time through ultrasound imaging.
