FW: Reminder: America Recycles Day - Donate Unused Clothes tomorrow (Fri 11/11)
by Johnson, Beverly J 10 Nov '16

10 Nov '16

Dear All, Did you know that approximately 20 billion lbs of clothing are thrown away in the US every year? These clothes make their way to the landfill where they decompose to release harmful greenhouse gases. Here is a great opportunity for you to donate unused clothing for a good cause (and declutter your closet!). November 15th is observed annually in the US as America Recycles Day. In the spirit of this day, GSO is organizing a cloth collection drive on Friday, November 11th, between 12pm and 2 pm in the atrium. You can drop off the following at our desk: Clothing (Men, Women & Children), Blankets, Drapes/Curtains, Pillows, Sleeping Bags, Shoes, Purses, Hats & Jewellery. Anything else will not be accepted. The collected items will be distributed to The Purple Heart and Goodwill organizations. Please come forward and contribute. Regards, Ishant Khurana Graduate Research Assistant Graduate Student Sustainability Chair Chemical Engineering Department at Purdue University [1474383190122_Outreach]

Hello Everyone, Please find attached a summary of the safety incidents and near misses reported to me from August 1, 2016 to date. I hope that sharing this information with you will prevent similar situations from happening in the future. Please continue to report all safety incidents and near misses using the form "Safety Incident/Near Miss Report" posted on our website: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety under "Workplace Injury Information". As a reminder, when someone is injured during a safety incident, even if the injury does not require medical attention, it still needs to be reported to REM, using the First Report of Injury (FROI) form: https://www.purdue.edu/ehps/rem/home/forms/froi.pdf. The form, which is also available on our website, needs to be submitted by the supervisor. Please also add me (nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>) on the list of recipients, when you submit the completed FROI form by email. Should you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you for your commitment to safety!

Cancelled: Seminar with Dr. Jennifer Reed
by Cox, Nicole I 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

Good morning, I am sorry to announce that today's Graduate Seminar has been cancelled due to the speaker feeling ill. The faculty lunch and meetings with the seminar guest have also been cancelled. Dr. Reed's presentation will be rescheduled and we hope that she is feeling well again soon. Thank you! [cid:image005.png@01D23421.B9160980]<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering GRADUATE SEMINAR SERIES Dr. Jennifer Reed Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center University of Wisconsin-Madison "A Systems Approach to Engineering Microbial Metabolism" Today's seminar has been cancelled due to the speaker feeling ill. Dr. Reed's presentation will be rescheduled soon. Thank you! Abstract: Genome-scale networks of metabolism and regulation can be reconstructed from an organism's genome annotation. Computational models generated from these reconstructions can be used to predict microbial responses to genetic and environmental perturbations. We have recently developed new algorithms for proposing metabolic engineering strategies based on metabolic and regulatory model predictions. Using these computational approaches, we identified genetic strategies for enhancing production of pyruvate from glucose and co-utilization of xylose from plant hydrolysates. These examples illustrate how integrating computational and experimental approaches can lead to novel metabolic engineering strategies and accelerate metabolic engineering efforts. Bio: Jennifer Reed is a Harvey D. Spangler Faculty Scholar in the College of Engineering and an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She received her B.S in Bioengineering: Biotechnology and Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the University of California, San Diego. She has received a number of awards for her research including an NSF Career Award, DOE Early Career Award, and a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). She is an American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering Fellow and a Kavli Fellow. Her group develops and applies systems biology approaches to study and engineer microbial metabolism and regulation for a variety of applications Nicole Cox Graduate Secretary School of Chemical Engineering Purdue University Forney Hall Room 2043 765-496-0309 nicox(a)purdue.edu [Eng-Black-Gold-rgb]
