Lipke Lab raises awareness of cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the world, so the Lipke Lab joined the American Heart Association and wore red on February 7th, 2020 to raise awareness and support the fight against heart disease and stroke!
Nicole plans the Graduate Engineering Research Showcase
As the Vice-President of the Auburn Council of Engineering Graduate Students, graduate researcher Nicole Habbit was heavily involved in planning and executing the annual Graduate Engineering Research Showcase. This is the second consecutive year that Nicole has planned this event and we are so proud of her commitment to representing our lab and department on campus!
Ferdous plans the GRAND Engineering Showcase
We want to give a big shout out to our very own graduate researcher, Ferdous Finklea, for her success in planning and executing the 2nd annual GRAND Engineering Showcase alongside the Auburn Engineering K-12 student services coordinator! We had a great time showing K-6 students how much fun engineering can be and how we as engineers can help solve critical problems facing our world.
Outreach at the GRAND Engineering Showcase
Lipke Lab graduate researchers volunteered at the 2nd annual GRAND Engineering Showcase to educate K-6 students and their families about the National Academy of Engineering grand challenges! We showed attendees how we can use hydrogels and tissue engineering to engineer better medicines. We also showed students how our hearts pump using real porcine hearts! It is safe to say they had a great time and learned a bunch at the Lipke Lab station.
Pig Hearts, Workshops, and REU Students. Oh my!
Here at the Lipke Lab we are all a bunch of STEM nerds at heart, so when we got the opportunity to use a real pig heart to show NSF REU students at Alabama State University how our hearts pump, you better bet we were excited! Here are some more pictures of our fun outreach day!
NSF REU Workshop at Alabama State University
This summer, the Lipke and Cremaschi research groups co-hosted a Biomanufacturing Workshop for NSF REU students at Alabama State University! We had a great time teaching the 2019 cohort about biomanufacturing from both an experimental and optimization viewpoint. More pictures from the workshop can be found on our instagram.
Lipke lab members volunteered at Outreach
We are so proud of Ferdous for planning and executing the Auburn Engineering GRAND Showcase which served to teach 4th – 8th grade students about the Grand Challenges for Engineering!
Morgan and Yuan volunteered and demonstrated to 4th – 8th grade students how we can employ hydrogels to engineer better medicines!
Thank Nicole for volunteering to photograph during this event.
