Environmental Justice and Sustainability
The age of the universe is estimated to be around 13.8 billion yeas. During this long stretch of time, nature has been a great laboratory where myriads of objects have been formed or synthesized. Nowhere is this more evident than in biological systems, which provides a rich array of structures, from the simplest small RNA molecule to functional organelles such as ribosomes or flagellar nanomotors to viruses and complete cells.
Join us at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University May 20 -22, to hear from leading scientist on the cutting edge of biologically enabled self-assembly research and its application for nanotechnology, sustainable energy, medical care, and more.
Co-sponsored by the College of Science and Technology, Sustainability Institute, Division of Research and UC Davis – Institute for Complex Adaptive Matter.

4th International Conference and Exhibition on Materials Science and Engineering provides a perfect symposium for scientists, engineers, directors of companies and students in the field of Materials Science and Nanotechnology to meet and share their knowledge. The scientific program paves a way to gather visionaries through the research talks and presentations to put forward many thought provoking strategies. The program will focus on current research and advancements in materials research, synthesis, and fabrication.
Join the FAMU School of Journalism & Graphic Communication for a conversation about how race is portrayed in the media. SJGC’s Knight Chair for Student Achievement Francine Huff will host a panel discussion featuring Eric Deggans, NPR’s TV critic and author of “Race Baiter: How the Media Wields Dangerous Words to Divide a Nation;” Shonda Knight, WCTV executive producer and anchor; Dr. Leah Hunter, SJGC visiting professor; and Dr. Rondrea Mathis, social justice advocate and visiting instructor at University of South Florida.
