Latinx Virtual Center

Cultural

The Latinx Cultural Center is providing you with a Virtual Center! You can check in to see what your Latinos In Action council is up to, find resources for your online classes, ask about opportunities during this difficult time, and allow us to stay home together with you. If you would like to be included, please let us know, and tell all of your Aggie friends! The video chats "La Hora de la Sopa" will be open every week on Wednesdays from 11 am to 2 pm until August 07th via WebEx, This will allow you to check-in and out on your own time, just like the physical center! We are planning on continuing the virtual center as long as we need to until we are able to meet in the physical center once more and are all able to meet again on campus.

Stronger than Steel? The Wonderful World of Spider Silk

Lecture/Readings | Agriculture and Natural Resources

Flexible, lightweight, strong, biocompatible, and water-resistant. A material with all of these properties can mean life-changing medical devices, protective equipment, and even building materials. But who came up with this super product? Spiders!

Can you imagine trying to farm spiders that eat each other and yield relatively small quantities of silk? This is where spider silk expert, Justin Jones, comes in. Join us for a lecture and discussion with this USU researcher and professor to learn about how his lab creates synthetic spider silk through the use of transgenic goats, bacteria, alfalfa, and even silkworms!

Dr. Justin A. Jones is an assistant professor in the Department of Biology at Utah State University. Dr. Jones received his Ph.D. degree in biology from Utah State University in 2015. He has worked with spider silk and its recombinant forms since 1998 while attending the University of Wyoming.
