Promoting Climate Resilient Rural Infrastructure in the Northern Mountain Provinces of Vietnam
Donor / Partner: Asian Development Bank (ADB) | Duration: 2013-2016 | Location: The Northern Mountain Provinces of Vietnam
About: The objective of the project in northern Vietnam to demonstrate effective bio-engineered solutions which, where possible, provide ‘win-win’ outcomes for resilience of rural infrastructure to climate risk and opportunities for community livelihood enhancement.
The project focuses on rural irrigation, slope stability for roads, river-bank protection, and flood protection works. Lessons learned from the project works will provide the basis for capacity building activities with local community members, contractors and government staff at local, provincial and national levels. The extension of this work is to make recommendations for the broader adoption of bio-engineered approaches as an effective solution to manage climate risk in Vietnam. The project will also raise awareness of climate risks and vulnerabilities in local communities and empower them with the capability to manage risk through practical, cost effective solutions which can be implemented with local resources.

A Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM) image of an unexpected lipid and polymer structure. The micron sized structure formed when nanoparticles coalesced upon drying. Smaller particles on the order of 100 nanometers can be seen in the spaces between the larger structures. The nanoparticles are being used to deliver chemotherapy drugs, making them more effective at fighting tumors and less toxic to the patient.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Staff Sgt. Willie Hampton, 20th Medical Group bioenvironmental flight bioengineering apprentice, walks to place a wreath on the tombstone of a fallen veteran at Fort Jackson National Cemetery during the Wreaths Across America ceremony Dec. 11, 2010. The ceremony was held to remember our veterans who have passed, honor those who are serving and have served and teach our children what it means to serve our country. The ceremony included a memorial presentation, World War II wreath laying, recognition of prisoners of war, those still missing in action and Merchant Marines, a 21-gun salute by a cannon battery and buglers.

Micro-computed tomography (mCT) scan of a knee. The "happy face" is a 2D color-inverted image from mCT at 36 micron resolution. The “eyes” are the medial and lateral femoral condyles of the knee, with bone shown in black and the surrounding cartilage and other soft tissues in gray. The speckled texture of the "eyes" is the trabecular structure of bone, and the surrounding dark, dense layer is the subchondral bone. The “smile”
is a cross-section of the scanner bed. High-resolution imaging is important for analyzing joint structure and constituents. Cartilage thickness, joint curvature, geometry, and bone histomorphometric parameters, including bone density and trabecular structure, can be computed from 3D reconstructions of mCT scans. Such analyses contribute to the understanding of biological joints, in health, disease, injury, repair, and restoration. This image was discovered while scanning through a knee specimen and reflects the small joys that research can bring every day.

Sick at home one day, 17th c. Dutch telescope-inventor Christiaan Huygens noticed two metronomes he had placed on a plank eventually began matching their clicks to the same tempo. This discovery led him to understand the temporal synchronization now allowing our phones to keep the same time. I have spent part of my doctoral study watching bacteria move in synchrony, later engineering them with an enzyme that helped them light up with a synchronized fluorescence scientifically significant—as it implied these same bacteria have the ability to deliver drugs to the body as if they were a team. This picture depicts an enlarged image of that burst, one I placed on a background made up of Huygens’ sketches of synched up clocks. I superimposed my discovery onto that of Huygens’ to illustrate how the implications of this synchrony could become as far-reaching as the one that came before it.
