Food Security for Succulents

Do plants need alternative energy sources? Can alternative energy give plants food security? For photosynthetic organisms, food security depends on availability of sunlight, which could be reduced by factors including air pollution and solar radiation management. Food Security for Succulents explores technologies that might benefit plants and ultimately provide food security for animals including humans. This is your opportunity to see the first prototype wind turbines for cacti and propose alternative energy schemes of your own. Food Security for Succulents is a preview of the Emerge festival, happening on March 21, 2020 at the Mesa Arts Center.

Lab on a Chip Demo

Lab-on-chip devices can be used for health monitoring and disease (e.g. cancer) diagnostics. They consist of tiny structures that are in the micrometer (1 millionth of one meter) and nanometer (1 billionth of one meter) scale that can effectively interact with important biomolecules such as DNA and extracellular vesicles (a very promising cancer biomarker). We will show the audience our lab-on-chip devices that we use in research to detect single DNA molecules and extracellular vesicles and we also play videos showing single-molecule motions of these biomolecules. The audience will also be able to visualize DNA molecules on a fluorescence microscope.
