Carrying the Moral Burden of Safe Fieldwork

open access: yesThe Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, Volume 104, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Fieldwork in ecology and the environmental sciences often leads to negative physical and emotional outcomes for workers. I argue that this is largely due to an abdication of responsibility on the part of their supervisors, and that supervisors are charged with carrying three interlinked moral burdens: first, the duty of promoting safety ...

Fast Sodium Ion Conductivity in Pristine Na8SnP4: Synthesis, Structure and Properties of the Two Polymorphs LT‐Na8SnP4 and HT‐Na8SnP4

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Sodium‐ion conductors show great promise for use in rechargeable solid‐state batteries due to the high natural abundance of sodium. As a pristine material, Na8SnP4 demonstrates relatively high ionic conductivity and offers significant room for further enhancement, owing to its structure built on well‐known tetrahedral building blocks. Additionally, its

Could the chemical industry mitigate rapid global cooling from a catastrophic volcanic eruption?

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimates based on historical data place the probability of a catastrophic volcanic eruption in the next 100 years at around one in six. Large volcanic eruptions can lead to significant global cooling for 2–4 years, with potentially devastating impacts on global agriculture.

Sustainable entrepreneurship and legitimacy building in protected areas: Overcoming distinctive barriers through activism

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 72-95, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Sustainable entrepreneurs operating in protected areas face distinctive barriers that place additional emphasis on the need to build legitimacy. To date, how they do this has not been entirely explored. This paper addresses this need through an exploratory study of sustainable entrepreneurs in a transnational protected area.

Autonomous Intuition for Advanced Manufacturing Systems: Benefits and Tradeoffs of Presampling for Autonomous Parameterization

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Sampling a design space to target a class of possible desirable outcomes, creating an artificial intuition, can accelerate future optimizations to those targets. This is tested experimentally with parameterization to achieve various geometries of freestanding structures using direct ink write (DIW) 3D printing.

Navigating value networks to co‐create sustainable business models: An actionable staging approach

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 240-258, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Sustainable transitions typically require collaboration between multiple actors in the value chain or value network. Recent research has emphasized mapping of stakeholders and values as a starting point for identifying opportunities to realign these relationships, followed by business model experimentation to enable change.

Structures of Polyhydroxyalkanoate Synthase PhaC from Aeromonas caviae, Producing Biodegradable Plastics

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
PHA synthase (PhaC) is the key enzyme in the polymerization of a biodegradable plastic—polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). Structures of full‐length PhaC reveal three key regions essential for substrate specificity and polymerization. Additionally, this study also highlights the critical role of N‐domain‐dependent dimerization in PhaC activity.
