What’s happening

The WSU System’s fourth annual Veterans and Military Affiliated Students (VMAS) Symposium will be held on November 9th on WSU’s Vancouver Campus. The purpose of the event is to strengthen WSU’s military-affiliated student community by elevating student voices, showcasing new resources and achievements for WSU’s military-affiliated students, and uncovering new needs, possibilities, and aspirations as this community looks to the future. This year’s theme is “The Way Forward.”

Over the last decade, nanotechnology has demonstrated great potential in contributing to durable and environmentally friendly concrete. This talk starts from a patented technology in which the value of coal fly ash was unlocked using a novel nano-sized material, graphene oxide (GO). This technology hinges on the use of GO in the waterglass activated fly ash to produce a “greener” cementitious binder, geopolymer.

This Thursday on the Terrell Mall the ASWSU Veterans and Military Affiliated Students Committee will be celebrating Veterans Day by handing out cupcakes and providing students the opportunity to place an American flag in honor of a Veteran or Veterans as a whole.

Our group has developed mathematical models to define variable SARS-CoV-2 shedding kinetics observed in the general population. We leveraged this model to accurately simulate clinical trials. Our models help identify why nirmatrelvir / ritonavir was extremely effective as an early therapy but failed a post exposure prophylaxis, and why viral rebound is common on this drug. We also explore mechanisms for nirmatrelvir / ritonavir’s superiority relative to molnupiravir.
