🔬 From the lab to real-world innovation! Congratulations to Professor of Biology Michael Menze and fellow inventors Jonathan Kopechek, associate professor of bioengineering, and Brett Janis on a newly issued U.S. patent for Systems and Methods for Preservation of Cells.

Their innovation uses microfluidic sonication techniques to help preserve cells and deliver soluble molecules into them—work with the potential to advance how cells are preserved and transported.

The achievement comes alongside more exciting momentum for Menze: A team led by DesiCorp and including UofL, the University of Texas at Austin, Via Therapeutics, VeriSIM Life, and Ossium Health was recently one of just three teams selected for an ARPA-H contract through its BioStabilization Systems (BoSS) program, which is developing new approaches to produce, store and transport cells at room temperature.

Congratulations to Michael and his collaborators on advancing research and innovation at UofL! 👏🔬

🌱 From mapping data to mapping a greener future for Louisville.

A&S alumna Angela Richardson has turned her passion for maps, people and places into a 14-year career with Louisville Metro Government — and now, a new leadership role as interim director of Brightside, Inc.

Richardson earned her BS in Geography with a concentration in GIS, where she developed the data analysis and problem-solving skills that continue to shape her work today. At Brightside, she’s putting those skills to work toward a cleaner, greener Louisville through community cleanups, environmental education and beautification efforts.

Her advice for today’s students? Never limit yourself.

“Find something you are passionate about and then bring those skill sets that you learn from geographic and environmental sciences to that passion.”

🎙️🏈 ESPN Radio came to UofL!

More than 50 Communication students had the chance to connect with the ESPN Radio College Football Campus Tour when the crew visited campus ahead of the Cards’ matchup against SMU.

Thanks to Communication Chair Kandi Walker for bringing this opportunity to students, who asked questions, gained real-world insight and made connections with professionals working in sports media. Students also heard from Kevon Wilson, a leader at the ACC Network, about opportunities to connect with UofL student media and collaborate with the Communication Department.

Experiences like this help our students see the possibilities ahead — and build connections that can take them from the classroom to careers in communication. 🎤📺

And the perfect ending to the weekend? A Louisville win over SMU. ❤️🖤

Go Cards and Go Comm! 🙌

History isn’t just something we study — it’s something we bring to life. 📚✨

Launching in spring 2027, the new Public History track within UofL’s BA in History will give students hands-on opportunities to work with archives, conduct oral histories, create exhibits and collaborate with community partners — building skills for careers in museums, preservation, media and beyond.

🎬 Celebrate the launch with us! On Thursday, Oct. 1 at 5:30 p.m. at Gottschalk Hall, students, alumni and community partners are invited to a reception and screening of a new film presented by the Speed Art Museum documenting artist vanessa german’s Future Histories of Emancipation performance. The Filson Historical Society is co-sponsoring the event.

How do we remember American history — and which moments become part of our collective memory?

As the nation marks 250 years, A&S scholars are coming together across disciplines to examine history not as something static, but as an ongoing act of remembering.

Join us Wednesday, Sept. 23, for “History, Memory, and America at 250,” a free, public symposium hosted by the Liberal Studies Visiting Scholars Project.

Faculty from History, English, Pan-African Studies, Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Political Science, Theatre Arts, Philosophy, Communication, and the Hite Institute of Art + Design will bring their perspectives to conversations about overlooked moments in U.S. history and the politics of remembering and forgetting. The symposium concludes with a keynote from University of Kentucky historian Tracy Campbell, “A Great Democracy in Action.”

📅 Wednesday, Sept. 23 | 1:15–5 p.m.
📍 Shumaker Research Building, Room 139
🎟️ Free and open to the public

The historical images featured here offer windows into the people, events and stories that shape our understanding of the past: flooding captured in an American city; the Statue of Liberty’s torch displayed while the monument was still under construction; and a scene from a 1930s Federal Theatre Project production remembering Harriet Tubman.

Together, they invite us to consider a question at the heart of the symposium: What do we remember, what do we forget, and how does that shape our understanding of American history?
