PHV to tech transfer production and testing of PHV01 (monovalent VSV ΔG Marburg Angola) to the US to bolster live viral vaccine domestic manufacturing capacity.
Letting Go of the List: Presence, Purpose, and the Christ-Shaped Life
Today’s post explores our list-making tendencies—and the deeper drive for accomplishment and control that often fuels them. As our entry point, I’ll turn to one of Arnold Lobel’s Frog and Toad stories: “A List.” It’s a gentle invitation to consider whether there might be better ways to spend our days and pursue our purpose. You may notice that this is the second time here at CSR I’ve centered a children’s story, and you might be wondering. Well, Jesus spoke in parables. Simple stories. Why?
Public Health Vaccines awarded BARDA option for development of vaccines against Sudan ebolavirus & Bundibugyo ebolavirus
This award adds more than $33 million to PHV’s BARDA contract to advance a Sudan ebolavirus vaccine candidate and two Bundibugyo ebolavirus vaccine candidates.
A Bananas Compass for Learning: The World’s Greatest Banana Salesman
In my first posts with CSR (see here, here, and here), I explored stories of conviction, transformation, and the slow work of formation. Today’s story introduces a compass that I use to navigate learning in the age of AI, and of course, it’s about bananas, absurd deals, and the choices we make in our learning journey. I have a story I tell at the beginning of the semester—usually to seniors. By that point, I’ve built up trust with them.
Finding God in Engineering: The Shape is the Key
In the first post, I shared a story about Mike Mulligan [link] that shaped me. In this one, I want to share the story that shaped my current approach to engineering education. It’s the story of how the t-shaped engineer came to be, and how a quiet theological correction helped me see its deeper truth.
Slow, Communal Practices: Forming Christ-Shaped Engineers (Part 2)
In the last post, we explored the power of story as a tool for formation. But formation doesn’t happen in a vacuum — it happens inside a cultural moment. And right now, that moment is being reshaped by forces that go far deeper than artificial intelligence alone. AI is just the tip of the iceberg. Beneath it lies the entire digital age—smartphones, social media, dopamine loops, curated selves. AI didn’t create this world. It’s accelerating it—but it’s really just the surface.
How Stories Slowly Shape Us: Even Engineers (Part 1)
The rise of artificial intelligence is not primarily a technical disruption. It is a formational one. The tools are reshaping us — our attention, our relationships, our sense of what it means to learn and work and belong. That conviction sits at the center of this series, reshaping the way I think about engineering education, and it’s why we begin not with an algorithm, but with a children’s book. Stories are powerful.

A New Paramoeba Isolate From Florida Exhibits a Microtubule‐Bound Endosymbiont Closely Associated With the Host Nucleus
1 Introduction The genera, Paramoeba and Neoparamoeba, comprise amoebae characterized by dactylopodial type of subpseudopodia within the family Paramoebidae (order Dactylopodida). One of the identifying features of Paramoeba/Neoparamoeba has been the presence of an intracellular eukaryotic symbiont, known as the Perkinsela-like organism (PLO), of a kinetoplastid origin (Dyková et al. 2003; Hollande 1981; Tanifuji et al. 2011).

Empirical research on polycentric governance: Critical gaps and a framework for studying long‐term change
INTRODUCTION All policy landscapes are complex, and a better understanding of the ways that complex governance systems operate could be instrumental in helping communities and policymakers adapt to the socio-ecological challenges of the 21st century. In recent years, there has been an explosion of interest in polycentric governance (PG), a term that connotes multiple, interdependent centers of decision-making, and that many scholars see as an alternative to more centralized governance models.

Building the Dream Legal Team for Startups
Well-established Fortune 500 companies have large, complex legal functions that most people view as a “traditional” team structure. For startups, trying to develop a new legal team in the same way could be a recipe for disaster – and furthermore, be misaligned with the organization’s cultural and business goals. While there is no right or wrong approach to legal structure, there are a few factors that may be valuable for startups to consider in building their legal team. Tip #1.
Dark Mountain Facts
I have been out of Santa Barbara County for 10 years working overseas. You might remember my series of articles in The Independent entitled “Meeting the Pacific.” Well, I travelled across Europe and the South Pacific, searching for innocence. I never found it. Here are a few facts: Fishing has had more impacts on coastal and marine ecosystems than oil “spills.” Land-use developers along the coast destroyed wetlands and nurseries to the sea.
