SUMMARY:Light\, Materials and Interfaces: The Complex Dance That Allows CLIP-based 3D Printing
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Joseph DeSimone\, Dept. Chemical Engineering\, Stanford University\nJointly sponsored by Golden Gate Polymer Forum and Silicon Valley ACS\n6-7pm\, Online via Zoom\, Free/$5 Donation\, Registration required (Registration deadline: June 20th at 1pm)\nDownload flyer\n\nAbstract\nContinuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) provides an alternate means of creating 3D objects from polymers.  Digital programming and additive manufacturing combine to produce commercial quality parts rapidly and at scale.  CLIP uses oxygen-inhibited photopolymerization to generate a continual liquid interface of uncured resin between a forming part and a printer’s exposure window. This allows parts to ‘grow’ from a pool of resin\, formed by light.  The principle has been demonstrated at Carbon in Redwood City (formerly Carbon3D) on large-scale production of running shoes (Adidas\, Futurecraft 4D)\, customized football helmets (Riddell)\, dentures\, and numerous parts for the automotive\, consumer electronics\, and medicinal markets. Academic research continues at Stanford in multi-material printing\, recyclables\, therapeutic devices in pediatric medicine\, and in the design of higher resolution printing microelectronics and drug/vaccine delivery.  \n \nBio\nProfessor DeSimone’s role at Stanford University spans multiple departments including Chemical Engineering\, Radiology\, Materials Science and Business. Previously\, he was in the chemistry department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the chemical engineering department at North Carolina State University. He was also the co-founder\, Board Chair\, and CEO of the additive manufacturing company\, Carbon (formerly Carbon3D). \nDeSimone has published over 350 scientific articles and is on over 200 issued patents.  In addition to 3D printing\, his previous research included environmentally friendly manufacturing processes for the synthesis of fluoropolymer materials and imprint lithography-based nanoparticle manufacturing.  In addition to Carbon3D\, DeSimone co-founded Liquidia Technologies to produce uniform nanoparticles for medicine with independent control over particle parameters such as size\, shape\, composition\, modulus\, and surface chemistry. \nDeSimone received his B.S. in Chemistry from Ursinus College in Collegeville\, PA (1986) and his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Virginia Tech (1990).  He has received numerous recognitions for achievements in science\, engineering\, invention\, and business\, including a National Medal of Technology and Innovation from President Obama in 2016.

SUMMARY:ERGO: A Potential Answer in Mushrooms to Healthy Aging?
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS Agricultural & Food Chemistry Division\n11am-Noon\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nThe accidental discovery of a fungal contaminant in a Petri dish by Sir Alexander Fleming in 1928 led to development of the antibiotic penicillin\, which revolutionized medicine and saved countless lives from deadly bacterial infections. Prior to that discovery in 1909\, another fungal metabolite called Ergothioneine (ERGO)\, a naturally occurring amino acid that contains a sulfur atom on the imidazole ring\, was discovered in Ergot fungus\, but it received little attention. It wasn’t until almost a century later in 2005\, that it was discovered that all mammals\, including humans\, have a highly specific and efficient transporter for ERGO\, which allows it to rapidly move from food into red blood cells and allow for effective distribution among body tissues. \n\n\n\nJoin Robert Beelman\, Professor Emeritus of Food Science and Director of the Center for Plant and Mushroom Foods for Health at Penn State University as he discusses how ERGO is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent believed to prevent or mitigate chronic diseases of aging. Register now to discover more about this possible “longevity vitamin” and the current research regarding how ERGO in the diet might improve long-term health outcomes and increase life expectancy. \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by Brian Guthrie of Cargill and is co-produced with the ACS Division of Agricultural & Food Chemistry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nWhat makes Ergothioneine (ERGO) a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound that may help to mitigate chronic diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease\nWhy mushrooms are an excellent source of ERGO and how we can also obtain it from other sources\nHow conventional agricultural practices can compromise ERGO in our food supply and how regenerative practices are necessary.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nThursday\, June 29\, 2023 @ 2-3pm ET\nFree to Register with ACS ID\nThe slides will available for download on the day of the event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-produced With\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nACS Agricultural & Food Chemistry Division
