Subject: STEM Equity Pipeline Project Seeking Two Additional States
Expanding Options for Women and Girls in
Science
Technology,
Engineering and
Math
Dear Colleagues,
The National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity Education Foundation is
seeking two additional states to participate in the STEM Equity Pipeline
Project starting October 1, 2008. For more information about the project
please go to www.stemequitypipeline.org
.
The STEM Equity Pipeline Project will be working with 13 states over 5
years to increase the capacity of individuals in the state who conduct
science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) professional
development to integrate research based best practices on increasing the
participation of women and girls in STEM into their existing training
work. We will be working through the leadership of the career and
technical education systems in each of the states to build state teams
of STEM related organizations conducting professional development with
teachers. The first five states participating are CA, IL, OK, MO, WI. In
addition to technical assistance and training provided to state teams
the project will maintain a web-based virtual learning community and
conduct webinars and webcasts on gender equity strategies in STEM that
will be available nationwide.
Attached is the application for two new states to join the project in
year two. The application timeline is as follows:
Application due July 18, 2008
Two states selected August, 15, 2008
State start-up October 1, 2008
Please contact Mimi Lufkin, Project Director for more information.
Sincerely,
Mimi

>From "Gas from Grass," an article in STATE, The Official Magazine of
Oklahoma State University, Spring 2008:
Professor Ray Huhnke and his co-researchers are refining the conversion
process. The research includes faculty from OU and BYU. The method of
refining is cheaper and more efficient than the starch-based process
used with corn because it can employ low-cost feedstocks. The process
works by fermenting the gas instead of sugars to make ethanol. Chopped
green matter is first placed in a gasifier heated to 800 degrees C,
turning the material into gases, including carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
The gases are then cleaned and cooled before being injected into a
bioreactor containing bacteria. The organisms use those gases to produce
ethanol rather than their usual product, acetic acid. OU microbiologist
Ralph Tanner is patenting organisms from the clostridium family. A
Warrenville, Ill. Company, Coskata, has licensed the bacteria with the
intention of using the process commercially. Through a pilot plant the
company will produce fuel for General Motors Corporation. Huhnke says
the resulting ethanol production costs could be less than $1.25/gallon!!
