Always exciting to launch a new algae strain but even more so when it’s a macro algae strain! This is a first for @ASU_AzCATI. Everyone watching it swirl. Simulating on shore production of macro algae for #DISCOVR project for @BioenergyKDF @ASUResearch @ASUEngineering

110 kilos frozen #algae paste green goodness heading to our partners @NREL for conversion to #biofuels and #bioproducts and nutrients coming back to grow more #algae with our partners at @LosAlamosNatLab and the @BioenergyKDF MORE project. @SSEBEatASU @ASUResearch

What a treat having current and former @ASU_AzCATI peeps gathering @jamcgowen house for some merry making holiday food and drink and fun. Especially rewarding to see how many former students and staff came! A nice #algae reunion and a great @ASUResearch @ASUEngineering team.

How is Prometheus Materials addressing the world's #concrete problem? @archpaper dives into the production of our #microalgae-based #zerocarbon bio-concrete & initial precast product line – masonry units, acoustic panels, segmented modular block & pavers: bit.ly/3FmXBts

Happy Friday from @ASU_AzCATI We’ll be harvesting thru the weekend and up thru next Wednesday wrapping up our fall cultivation trials for #DISCOVR @BioenergyKDF before 🦃-day and some much needed rest and relaxation for the best crew in #algae @ASUEngineering @ASUResearch

10 seconds of #algae zen after a productive 2 days of meetings hosted @ASU_AzCATI with the DOE @BioenergyKDF and 6 project teams all funded on the same FOA building community and sharing challenges and toolkit development for improving algae productivity. @SSEBEatASU @ASUResearch

Happy Fall! Launched our cool weather #algae strains into our newest ponds just in time for a cool down this week. Looking forward to some harvest/recycle experimentation when it’s nicer for us humans to be outside. Algae-spice latte anyone? @SSEBEatASU #DISCOVR @BioenergyKDF

@ASU_AzCATI @algaeindustry @ASUResearch @ASUEngineering @SSEBEatASU Love this team! Looking forward to a great conference. And handing out some limited editions of these cuties…@ASU_AzCATI own version of a fidget spinner! Yes, the paddlewheel spins!

AzCATI booth all ready to go. So nice to break it out after 3 years of virtual conferences! And then of course some time for refreshments after a long day of travel. Looking forward to @algaeindustry #algaebiomasssummit @ASUResearch @ASUEngineering @SSEBEatASU
