Designing a Systems Architecture for Biobased Manufacturing with Industrial Hemp
Industrial hemp is standing at a threshold between legacy and innovation. Oregon State University’s (OSU) Global Hemp Innovation Center (GHIC) is advancing a model for how plant-based systems can transform the future of materials, design, and advanced manufacturing. This presentation introduces a “gene-to-plant-to-field-to-factory-to-fashion” framework that uses a systems approach linking molecular genetics, agronomy, processing technology, and apparel design into an integrated biobased manufacturing ecosystem with the research, engagement, and educational components needed to support it

How CHE students spent their summer ’24
Each summer, Cornell Human Ecology students have the chance to learn outside the classroom and gain real-world experience through internships, research with faculty and other opportunities.
We asked six undergrads to share their summer 2024 experiences in their own words, from interning at a design firm in London to engaging with the local community at farmers markets across upstate New York to working with teenagers in Harlem on nutrition education.

From bench to bedside: how Joeva Barrow is improving human health
When Joeva Barrow began her career training to become a registered dietitian (RD), working at Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies, she saw firsthand how nutrition could change lives. Her curiosity led her to explore molecular nutrition and understand how evidence-based nutrition recommendations worked.
“We found a lot of really powerful relationships between diet and health, but many of the fundamental mechanisms still needed to be explored in order to maximize those
