We’re excited to share that the AFWERX TACFI program has awarded Mesodyne with a $1.75M contract that matches a seed round led by Nor'easter Ventures for a combined value of $3.5M. This funding will enable us to further develop and ultimately deliver the LightCell to AFSOC A4 for testing in evaluation in the field. Want to learn more about what we’re doing? Reach out! 

The Postdoctoral Society of Argonne and the Postdoc Program Office were pleased to host Dick Co yesterday for a talk for postdocs on how the entrepreneurial mindset can help you advance your career (even if you don't want to start a business :)). One of the things he talked about was essentialism and that you have a choice in what you say yes or no to. It's an important skill for anyone to learn. This was just one of the many key messages he shared with postdocs! Dick writes regularly on LinkedIn. Give him a follow for these nuggets of wisdom! #postdocs #entrepreneurship #mindset #learning #careerdevelopment

Help us as we welcome Dr. Justin Whiteley as a Strategic Advisor to the Mycocycle, Inc. team! Justin Whiteley will be assisting us in the next steps of our growth: the development of a full-scale manufacturing facility. Justin knows a few things about building after co-founding meati™ foods and serving as their Chief Science & Technology officer. Under his leadership Meati scaled novel fermentation and food manufacturing technologies from the lab into two factories. He is a materials scientist, industrial mycologist, and passionate builder of first-of-a-kind infrastructure. Previously, he developed critical technologies in the fields of energy storage for Solid Power and recyclable plastics for Mallinda. Prior to his experience with startups, he worked as a mechanical engineer at a variety of nuclear power plants in the western United States. He has committed his career to developing environmentally sound, bountiful, affordable, and varied energy sources that support humanity in all its endeavors. Whiteley obtained a bachelor's degree in mechanical and nuclear engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. He went on to complete master's and doctoral degrees in mechanical engineering at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Whiteley has authored more than 15 peer-reviewed publications and secured over 10 patents. Our team is proud to welcome Justin to the REVOLUTION, as we transform trash-to-treasure one 🍄 at a time!

Phase3D is the First In-situ Monitoring Company to Correlate AM Build Anomalies to Part Defects for the United States Air Force and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration! This is a MASSIVE step forward for the AM industry as now users can understand part quality as the parts are being printed using quantifiable, repeatable data. Phase3D has worked closely with the U.S. Air Force and NASA to develop Fringe Research, which measures, in microns, every layer of a powder-based AM build using structured light. For AM to change the world and become a trusted manufacturing process, the industry must validate the build process in real time. Phase3D stands apart from any other in-situ monitoring product on the market with its trusted measurement technology. Come to Booth 1063 at RAPID + TCT next week to learn more about the work Phase3D is doing with it's customers! Message us directly or Noah Mostow to schedule a meeting. A big thank you to the folks at the United States Air Force, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Air Force Research Laboratory, and University of Dayton Research Institute. Additional shout out to the Phase3D team, Niall O'Dowd, PhD, Alex Samra, John Dailey, Scott Monaghan, Leo Manola, Noah Mostow, and the many more who worked on this project.
