This episode is about the bad police officer Blake Simmons from the body cam video I posted a couple weeks ago, and what makes him a bad cop, and how this should be dealt with and how to prevent this action in the future --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/supremedecisions/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/supremedecisions/support

In his second talk he reviews makeup of the plant cell wall and how hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin can be broken down for use in aviation biofuel production. He describes the Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) approach to maximize carbon efficiency at every step in the production of biofuels, from developing and feedstocks, deconstructing biomass, and use of microbes and enzymes to generate target intermediates for fuels. A major part of optimizing this process is the development of a one-pot process, in which conversion of biomass to fuel can be achieved in a single chamber.

Biofuels have been around for decades, but interest in them has grown considerably in recent years due to climate change. While they have the potential to provide a sustainable and renewable way to power our transportation systems, Dr. Blake Simmons points out that in order to become a viable replacement for fossil fuels, biofuels must also be efficient and affordable at global scales. In his first talk, he provides an overview of the advantages of using biofuels and walks through the biochemical processes required in order to convert biomass into usable fuels. He also discusses the ideal properties for advanced biofuels, the projected markets for these fuels in the coming years, and some of the key challenges associated with optimization of advanced biofuel production.

Megan interviews Blake Simmons, current director of the Biological Systems and Engineering Division at Lawrence Berkeley Lab, about grad school in New Orleans. Blake talks about his time in the military prior to school and how he let the good times roll in NoLa, even during his qual.

Conservation science is at crossroads, species are declining at rapid rates and ecosystems are being thrown out of balance! During this podcast hosts, Carla Archibald and Rachel Friedman will be exploring and sharing the most up-to-date thinking in conservation science and environmental problem-solving.
