French Colloque “French and American Perspectives on Food and Health”
This summit was held the 5th of December and brought together French and American experts and researchers from different academic disciplines as well as professional chefs, and government officials for a transatlantic perspective on this most elemental, though hardly simple, activity every human being must perform: feeding ourselves. It was inspired by an innovative three-year research collaboration, begun in 2009, between the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and École des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS). The program, 21st Century Cuisine, Nutrition and Genetics in France and the U.S., is supported by the French Embassy through the Partner University Fund (PUF), a public-private partnership between the Government of France and individual American donors.
Drexel’s Gogotsi Questions Accuracy of Performance Measures of Energy Storage Systems in Latest Issue of Science
Accuracy of Performance Measures of Energy Storage Systems
PHILADELPHIA (November 29, 2011) — Solving the mystery of prematurely dead cell phone and laptop batteries may prove to be a vital step toward creating a sustainable energy grid according to Drexel researcher Dr. Yury Gogotsi. In a piece published in the November 18 edition of Science, Gogotsi, who is the head of the A.J. Drexel Nanotechnology Institute, calls for a new, standardized gauge of performance measurement for energy storage devices that are as small as those used in cell phones to as large as those used in the national energy grid.
