Check out our latest cover! Here, researchers capitalize on vibrational circular dichroism to facilitate rapid mapping and identification of protein secondary structures in tissue samples. pubs.acs.org/toc/ancham/93/3

My mother was a cancer scientist. It was a shock when she herself was diagnosed with cancer. She passed away a year later. On this World Cancer Day, @POTUS and I are committed to supporting the scientists, researchers, and health care workers devoted to fighting this disease.

Researchers at the Beckman Institute @Illinois_Alma have developed a new method to improve the noise associated with nanoscale chemical imaging using atomic force microscopy that will increase the versatility and the precision of the instrument. bit.ly/3fWDpQk

@deg511 Thanks, Dave. Great to chat! #BigBeacon

@deg511 We have just begun. Would be worth revisiting in a few years to see changes and what we learn #bigbeacon

@MeaganPollock @NAPEquity Challenge inspired models esp interest women and first-gen. 5 W and 4 first-gen in our 1st class of 12 #bigbeacon

@joeagabiti2013 @deg511 Indeed! Maybe a cross between teaching to fish them making themselves better fishermen and fisherwomen #BigBeacon

@deg511 A10: dovetails nicely! Just adds inspiration at the begining #BigBeacon

@deg511 Thats our motto at Illinois Engineering - we do the impossible #dotheimpossible @EngineeringAtIL #BigBeacon

@deg511 Indeed... it will be great if we can inspire at least some students and provide them the opportunity to do great things #BigBeacon

@deg511 @aalin16 Importantly, engages faculty in education via research - more student contact #BigBeacon

@aalin16 A9: No. It builds on top of the existing curriculum #BigBeacon

@aalin16 1 in 2 US will be diagnosed with Cancer. Affects many deeply and lots care for topic. Also intellectually challenging #bigbeacon

@deg511 A8: Most curious - waiting to see outcomes, want to adopt, relate to personalized ed, reason for residential univ #BigBeacon

@joeagabiti2013 1st yr+ of engg is science, introductory, 4th projects (capstone), middle are core. Challenge ties them tgether #BigBeacon

@aalin16 @deg511 yes - this model should not be restricted to cancer. Cancer was only a topic I knew... :-) Many others possible #bigbeacon

@joeagabiti2013 Subtle but important - A challenge is difficult in myriad courses. Relationships, grandness of challenge #bigbeacon

@deg511 @WNEBook Interesting point. Research gives them a chance to fail as well - which may not happen often in class. #BigBeacon

@deg511 partly natural interest as it closely relates to research. Curiosity and excitement of a new model in education #BigBeacon
