BioSUCCEED is a multi-year project that was funded by the USDA to provide content to all users interested in biomass & bioenergy. NC State University has been working on developing content through its laboratory work, classroom development, and research.

World Bioenergy
One of the fans of our Facebook BioSUCCEED page gave me some information that I would like to direct all bloggers to visit: There is an international organization that will help to spead the benefits of the biomass for energy in the world. Take a look at: http://www.worldbioenergy.org. Send me your opinions and thoughts on this site. Is it meaningful to you? Will it make a difference in your life?

239th ACS Conference (San Francisco) Contacts
I made two valuable contacts in San Francisco at the CHEM ED DIV Symposium I attended. The contacts are: Prof. Dalila Kovacs, Ph.D. (Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI) and Amy Cannon, Ph.D. (beyondbenign/a warner babcock foundation) who have a lot of good stuff going on. I am going to contact my colleague Elizabeth Scharpf who works in SHE for the benefit of underprivileged women around the world. It is an exciting time!
ACS Green Chemistry and Pacifi-Chem Conferences Here We Come!!!
It appears that our USDA BioSUCCEED program will have at least some share of the limelight in other international Conferences. We just received word that our papers submitted to these two additional ACS Conferences have been accepted! I am elated at this news. We will have in total another four papers from the Group here at NC State University to advertise the work that we have been doing in biomass & bioenergy research and education. Wish us luck!!!! The Conference coming up immediately is the 14th Annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference which is to be held from June 21-23 (2010) in Washington, D.C. Please go to: www.GCandE.org for more information!

Success! BioSUCCEED succeeds!!!
We had an excellent time during the CHEM ED Division symposium that was chaired by Professor Dalila Kovacs. We had a room full of guests from all walks of life who were primarily interested in topics related to teaching, research, and education. I was inspired by the number and interest shown by the people in the room. Although I could not record it in video format, I was able to provide a roughly 30 minute presentation on our program with the survey that used clickers. It was completely fun and exciting! I was able to show everyone the incredible coincidental advertisement of a book on clickers. I think that we should buy this book to help us use the clicker technology for increased audience participation.
In general, we had a great time sharing, learning, and having fun. BioSUCCEED had a great debut amongst the folks in the crowd (20 including me).
