Don’t miss it! The Algae Foundation CEO, Dr. Ira “Ike” Levine, and board members Dr. Jakob Nalley and Dr. Michael Lomas are bringing their expertise in cutting-edge algae technologies to the stage at the 2025 ABO Summit. Register here: hubs.ly/Q03K_2Hg0

While many families are gearing up for children to head back to school soon, nine Maine educators recently wrapped up some learning of their own during the BLOOM Educators program at #BigelowLab. FMI: ow.ly/j3gc50WNb7z 📸: David Fields, Aislyn Keyes, and Nicole Poulton.

We’re excited to join the 2025 Algae Biomass Summit, Oct 19–20 in Tempe, AZ! Our CEO Dr. Ira Levine and board members Dr. Jake Nalley & Dr. Mike Lomas will share insights on cutting-edge algae technologies. Thanks Algae Biomass Org for the partnership! hubs.ly/Q03FSqcd0

Happy to share with you our latest @CeBiTec research on epigenetics and gene silencing in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii published in @TrendsinBiotech . Thanks to Alex Einhaus and co-workers for this great work, which will further boost microalgae biotech. lnkd.in/gGw-eiUy

Take a Spin through an Algae Harvest: @BigelowLab’s NCMA is proud to collaborate with the @AlgaeFoundation to bring the wonder of marine algae directly to classrooms nationwide! 🌊🧪📦

The 2025 Energy Execs program is back in swing for July! Today, they’re getting a first-hand look at: 🔬 Our Field Test Laboratory Building 🧪 Hydrogen fuel innovation 🌱 Algae research with BIG impact Stay tuned to see what these energy innovators get up to tomorrow.

BESE PhD student Melany Villegas-Valencia wins Algal BBB Top Poster Award at The International Conference on Algal Biomass, Biofuels and Bioproducts (AlgalBBB) in Phoenix Melany is on a quest to turn a lesser used alga, Cyanidioschyzon merolae 10D into a bioengineering powerhouse, in this poster, herself and Postdoc Sebastian Overmans showed that they can engineer the alga to produce volatile isoprene (the chemical that makes rubber) as a co-product during its cultivation. They show the optimal production parameters for this using a special set-up in our lab with 20-parallel bioreactors connected to a gas-analysis system. Melany then showed that she can use the effluent from wastewater treatment as a medium for algal cultivation and isoprene production, if nutrients were added to it. The committee judged the poster on its aesthetics, scientific depth and her presentation of the work, she was also requested to do a flash talk (3 min) about the poster. Melany is PhD student in Professor Kyle Lauersens lab. Congratulations Melany!

🎉 Congratulations @ASUEngineering Prof. Paul Westerhoff for earning the Perry L. McCarty Founders' Award from @AEESProfs! @SSEBEatASU's Westerhoff and team shared their work using UV light to control mold growth. ow.ly/KKaJ50W1WQT💧🚰 #AEESP2025 #EnvironmentalEngineering

In less than two weeks it will be time for #AlgalBBB in Phoenix! Looking forward to seeing all of you there and proud that @ASU_AzCATI will have a tour of its facilities. Happy to represent @KAUST_BESE & the amazing work being done at @ASU. Chairs @olaf_kruse and @taraka_dale

I got hit by some rather sudden and extreme financial hardship so if anyone is in need of remote wetlab contract research, strictly BSL1, do let me know. Currently scrambling for gigs. Plant, Bacterial, Archaeal Bioeng Custom Lab Hardware Turn Key Genetic Design Please RT 💚
