In this episode of The UC Irvine Podcast, Bernadette Boden-Albala, founding dean of the Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health, reflects on the transformations she’s witnessed since arriving at UC Irvine in 2019 and what it will take for health and well-being to thrive. She also shares insights from her research on stroke and cardiovascular disease, the role of social networks in disease prevention, and how community partnerships – paired with stronger advocacy for science and investment in women’s health – can improve health outcomes for everyone. |

First-of-its-kind ion pump |
|
|
|
UC Irvine researchers have developed a new device that removes salt and other charged compounds from water efficiently and effectively. The ratchet-based ion pump operates without moving parts or chemical reactions. Shane Ardo, UC Irvine professor of chemistry and co-lead author of a paper on the work, says that applications include desalination, harvesting lithium ions from seawater and biomedical devices. The National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Energy and the European Research Council helped support the research. #SpeakUp4Science |
