Chemist unlocks plastic alternatives using proteins and clothing scraps

Every year, 400 million tons of plastic waste are generated worldwide. Between 19 and 23 million tons of that plastic waste makes its way into aquatic ecosystems, and the remaining goes into the ground. An additional 92 million tons of cloth waste is generated annually. Challa Kumar, professor emeritus of chemistry, "fed up" with the tremendous amount of toxic waste people continually pump into the environment, felt compelled to do something. As a chemist, doing something meant using his expertise to develop new, sustainable materials. "Everyone should think about replacing fossil fuel-based materials with natural materials anywhere they can to help our civilization to survive," Kumar says. "The house is on fire, we can't wait. If the house is on fire and you start digging a well—that is not going to work. It's time to start pouring water on the house."

Ryan Adamczeski at The Advocate:

Forced outing has devastating consequences for LGBTQ+ people, and queer youth are at an even greater risk. One-third of LGBTQ+ minors who were outed without their consent were more likely to experience depression, as well as face less support from their families, according to a new study from the University of Connecticut. Two-thirds said that the event caused significant stress. Outing is the act of revealing a person's sexual orientation or gender identity without their consent. The UConn study analyzed responses from 9,200 queer youth ages 13 to 17 in the Human Rights Campaign's 2017 LGBTQ National Teen Survey which showed a correlation between outing and stress.

The data also showed that LGBTQ+ youth experience stress from outing differently, as transgender, nonbinary, and asexual respondents reported higher stress levels than cisgender gay, lesbian and bisexual participants. In all cases, respondents reported lower stress when they also reported have parents or guardians who are educated on sexuality and gender identity. More than 550 anti-LGBTQ+ bills were introduced across the U.S. in 2023, and 80 were passed into law. In 2024, 487 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced and 20 have passed into law, according to the American Civil Liberties Union. There are currently five states that mandate schools report transgender children to their parents if they request to go by a different name or pronouns. Another six “promote” forced outing, according to the Movement Advancement Project.

A new study from UCONN that came out reveals that anti-LGBTQ+ forced outing policies lead to higher rates of depression and familial rejection among LGBTQ+ youths.

Day 19/100 days of productivity | Fri 8 Mar, 2024

Visited University of Connecticut, very pretty campus

Attended a class on Computer Vision, learned about Google ResNet, which is a type of residual neural network for image processing

Learned more about the grad program and networked

Journaled about my experience

Y’all, UConn is so cool! I was blown away by the gigantic stadium they have in the middle of campus (forgot to take a picture) for their basketball games, because apparently they have the best female collegiate basketball team in the US?!? I did not know this, but they call themselves Huskies, and the branding everyone on campus is on point.

Why should Connecticut taxpayers help a multimillionaire who just bought a new soccer team?

Last week, I discovered that a new minor league soccer team was awarded to a Connecticut businessman, a so-called “multimillionaire tech entrepreneur” named Andre Swanston. According to NBC Connecticut, the new team will be called Connecticut United Football Club and will compete in MLS Next Pro, essentially the minor leagues of Major League Soccer. At the initial press conference, the team…

Reduce, reuse, recycle, and repurpose: These are all ways we can live more sustainably. One tricky aspect of recycling, though, is that sometimes the recycling process is chemically intensive, and this is the case for recycling one of the world's most abundant materials -- chitin. Yangchao Luo from UConn's College of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources and his group have tackled this problem and found a way to sustainably recover chitin from seafood waste. Their findings are published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules. Chitin is the second most abundant biological polymer on Earth, with an estimated 100 billion tons produced each year by fungi or creatures like insects and crustaceans, second to cellulose which is created by plants. Just like cellulose, in purified forms, chitin can be used for many things, from food packaging and other durable and compostable single-use materials to fertilizers and cosmetics.
