Growing Neural Engineering @ Penn State
Bruce Gluckman | Engineering Science & Mechanics
Neural Engineering is a truly collaborative cross disciplinary effort to bring modern technological approaches to interfacing with, understanding of, and clinical care of the brain and nervous system. I’ll sketch some of the strengths of PSU’s already strong interdisciplinary Neural Engineering community and the framework through which we’re targeting to expand.
Biomaterials and Biofabrication: Making with Mycelia
Jenn Macalady | Geosciences
Innovators from coast to coast are building new things with fungi. The small number of fungi currently in mass production were already being cultivated at smaller scale for medicinal and other uses, suggesting that the best fungal building materials have yet to be discovered and that significant contributions toward sustainable materials will soon be made in collaboration with scientists who study fungal ecology, physiology, diversity and genomics. This talk was originally scheduled for 4/26 but will now occur on 5/3.
