The findings support the idea that early Earth may have inherited a “starter kit” of life’s building blocks from space.
The workshop was held in Mesilla, New Mexico.
UH celebrated Alice Augusta Ball Day on February 28, 2025.
The initiative focuses on using cutting-edge protein science to develop an enzyme-based therapeutic designed to accelerate the healing process of chronic wounds.
This research ties into the larger effort by UH Mānoa researchers and their collaborators to address climate challenges through a $26 million project to develop sustainable refrigerant technologies.
Vincent's group has already developed frameworks for collaboration and organized student workshops aligning with ERC EARTH’s goals.
In 1915, Ball became the first African-American and woman to graduate from both UH Mānoa and the U.S. with a master’s degree in chemistry.
Each department created their own fun activities for the students.
The project aims to create a transformative “sustainable refrigerant lifecycle” by lowering HFC emissions; creating safe, property-balanced replacement refrigerants; and increasing the energy efficiency of HVACR systems.
