You may have last seen mealworms in 4th grade science class. But the gut of the yellow mealworm has a microbial community that could be useful for breaking down a major type of plastic. @UDelaware, @ORNL & @WUSTL researchers are researching these microbes: udel.edu/udaily/2023/ja…

Your discarded water bottle could become jet fuel or lubricant, with new research from @UDelaware. Researchers developed a process to break down hard-to-recycle polyolefins, which make up 60-70% of plastics. It uses 50% less energy than similar tech: cpi.udel.edu/2021/04/22/com…

My teen son: “what am I even going to use trigonometry for? When will I need to calculate the cosine of a triangle?”
Husband: “maybe you’re going to design rocket ships...”
Son in mocking tone: “Wow. Thank gosh I took trig so I can draw triangles all over this rocket ship.”
