Coffee & Scripture is Rhody Christian Fellowship's weekly in-depth Bible study. We discuss God, the Bible, and how it applies to our lives. We don't dodge the difficult parts of the Bible; we seek to understand them. Your questions are encouraged! Any students (regardless of your religious background or affiliation) are welcome to join us. If you don't have a Bible, we can provide you with one. Plus, we'll have free coffee!Note: We also have another time available if you can't make the 4:00 study. The 7:30 pm Coffee & Scripture meets in the Memorial Union downstairs (near the sushi place). Both Bible studies are the same, so pick the time that works best for your schedule and come join us!Visit URInvolved for complete event details.

Novel mechanistic insights into nanoplastics release in natural environmentThe majority of prevalent micro- / nanoplastic (MP/NPs) pollutants are derived from the degradation of bulk plastics in the natural environment. Mechanical degradation (i.e., abrasion and fragmentation) is a primary mechanism of MP/NP release; however, its fundamental understanding remains elusive. Furthermore, data generated from disparate and qualitative mechanical degradation methods are hard to unify for estimating degradation in a diverse range of environmental conditions. In this talk, I will highlight how fragmentation and surface abrasive wear play a different role in releasing MP/NPs during the lifetime of plastics. Focusing on abrasive wear, I will introduce our novel and quantitative methods, particularly our lateral force microscopy-based nanoscratch method, to mechanistically probe MP/NP release at a single surface roughness protrusion (asperity) level. Next, I will highlight the combined effects of photo-oxidization and nanoscale abrasive wear on releasing nanoplastic release. In particular, I will elucidate the evolution of the wear mechanism and rates of semi-crystalline polyethylene during photooxidation. These results provide an underlying mechanism and key polymer properties responsible for why photooxidation leads to more nanoplastic release via abrasive wear. Our quantitative approach will significantly advance our understanding of MP/NP release in the natural environment. The data will contribute to future predictive modeling of nanoplastic release rate as a function of polymer properties and environmental conditions. Incorporating such models into an environmental risk assessment framework will guide the early-stage design, selection, and management of polymer materials for responsible environmental outcomes.

There are many benefits to studying abroad or away. This is your first step to learn about the benefits and explore international and national study away opportunities! Once you attend this session you can begin meeting one-on-one with an education abroad advisor and filling out your application for a study away program.The session will explain the different types of study abroad/study away programs offered at URI, their basic financial structures, and a review of helpful tips to navigate our website to gain even more important information. You will also be able to ask questionsMake sure to register by clicking the event website below.
