“Everything we’re doing right now is geared toward the specific goal of developing what we call the closed-loop energy cycle, whereby your batteries are not solid materials, they are liquids,” said Influit co-founder and CEO John Katsoudas. “You can treat the battery as a fuel that gets pumped in to mobility devices—cars, trucks, airplanes, anything that needs to be electrified. Every one of our contracts is funding a different aspect of the totality development of that ecosystem. All of the technology has come together—we have a crystal-clear path before us.”

The multidisciplinary Institute for Data, Econometrics, Algorithms, and Learning, or IDEAL, conducts advanced research and training in the field of data science.

“I think it’s appealing the same way that a game of chance is appealing, or a party game,” said Mar Hicks, associate professor of history. “Where there’s some level of uncertainty about what’s going to happen.”

For common indoor spaces, 12 air changes per hour is “a great goal if you could try to get that,” said Brent Stephens, an expert in indoor air quality and building science at Illinois Tech, during a webinar on air quality in schools. “If you could get six air changes per hour or if you can get five air changes per hour or something near that, I think those are still really quite reasonable risk reduction numbers.”

President Joe Biden is now calling on Congress to codify Roe v. Wade and federally legalize abortion nationwide. “It means that Congress would pass a law that would provide many of the same protections that the Supreme Court previously recognized as being constitutional via Roe v. Wade, whether or not that would stand up against the current Supreme Court I think is anybody’s question,” said Noah Smith-Drelich, assistant professor of law at �鶹APP-Kent College of Law.
