Wood Science TalksSusan Anagnost: "Wood anatomy is a puzzle, and it is fun to solve the puzzle !"Sue Anagnost is Professor Emeritus at the State University of New York (SUNY), College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Syracuse, USA, where she continues to serve as the Director of the Tropical Timber Information Center. Sue always liked biology and studying plants, which brought her to wood anatomy, as it had an application to wood products. Beside wood anatomy Sue has also worked on topics such as wood ultrastructure, wood decay, and mycology, with light microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy being always heavily utilized techniques in her work and in teaching. Sue explains the importance of wood identification of...2023-07-0220 minWood Science TalksAlfred Teischinger: "Frankly spoken, I didn't have a very clear and strict career plan!"Alfred Teischinger is internationally one of the most prominent wood technologists. Before retiring he was Full Professor at BOKU Vienna, Austria, and he is talking about what brought him into wood, and shares his philosophy about technology, science, also with respect to society. The major focus of this talk is on the now published Springer Handbook of Wood Science and Technology, which he co-edited, an over 2000 pages strong volume covering wood biology, chemistry and physics, structure-property relations, wood-based materials, and much more. Professor Teischinger talks about fundamental technological perspectives and industrial processes beyond sawmilling, the manufacturing of wood products...2023-04-2134 minWood Science TalksWayan Darmawan: "In Indonesia, we need more wood in the building sector!"Wayan Darmawan is a Full Professor at the Department of Forest Product, Bogor Agricultural University (IPB University), Indonesia, where he is with the Wood Quality Improvement Technology Division. His interests are around machining of wood, and how to improve lower quality plantation wood though modification trials. Prof. Darmawan is talking about his research, about the offered wood program, the many students they are getting each year, about the wood industry in Indonesia, and how important it is to use more wood in civil engineering. Prof. Daramawan also tells about the value of having their wood program accredited by SWST, wh...2023-03-2728 minWood Science TalksDoug Gardner: "It is an exciting time for the use of green materials!"Douglas J. Gardner is Professor and Program Leader of Sustainable Materials Technology in the School of Forest Resources at the University of Maine. He is also member of the Advanced Structures and Composites Center and Forest Bioproducts Research Institute. Gardner’s research and teaching focus on polymer and interfacial science aspects of wood-polymer composite materials. He has been involved in research ranging from adhesion, surface science, cellulose nanocomposites, to extruded wood plastic composites, and additive manufacturing. At the Composite Center they have recently presented the world’s first 3D printed fully bio-based home.

Grown up in the mountains he first got into forestry, before entering wood science and engineering. His curiosity and interdisciplinary attitude, which he sees genuine to wood science, brought him to wood quality, adhesives, polymer processing and composites, biomass and biofuels. Learning from students is a great priviledge: "I never had a student that didn't bring in a different viewpoint to a project!", he says. This is the value of research, bringing in different perspectives, also to industry. Mike talks a...2023-01-2729 minWood Science TalksUlrich Mueller: "To generate something new with wood, we need first understand the cell wall !"Ulrich Müller is Professor at BOKU Vienna, and it would not be incorrect to say that he is currently one of the brightest minds in wood science. As a trained carpenter he has worked in industry for years, before starting an academic career. He has pursued numerous industry- focused developments, and all his projects are strongly rooted in a basic wood science understanding ("we need to start with the cell wall!"). He runs projects with e.g. the major German automobile manufacturer Volkswagen, to develop wooden components for automotives. Beside wood science, Ulrich is a fictional novelist and ha...2022-12-2232 minWood Science TalksFrancesco Negro: "Wood and sports - a sustainable combination !"Francesco Negro is a Professor at the Department of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences, University of Torino, Italy. His main research interests is related to innovative wood-based products, timber grading, regulations and standards, and the effects of wood on the environmental. He recently edited the open access book "Wood in Sport Equipment — Heritage, Present, Perspective", freely available from the SWST Website (https://www.swst.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Wood-in-sport-equipment_Heritage-present-perspective.pdf), which describes the changing uses of wood as a material for sport items such as bats, boats, bows and arrows, etc. but also of wood in sport facilities su...2022-12-0328 minWood Science TalksAnne Wekesa: “Young people need an awareness about wood !”Anne Wekesa is from Kenya, and she has been selected as one among 16 "Woman Ambassadors of Wood Science", a SWST-sponsored traveling exhibition designed to celebrate women ambassadors over time. In this Wood Science Talk Anne is talking on how she got enrolled into a wood science program in Kenya, how passionate she is about teaching young people, and about the importance of wood in her home country. She is dreaming about having once a wood technology lab at her home university in Kenya, with the hope that she might get help here from the wood science community. She is...2022-09-2032 minWood Science TalksWenxuan Wu: "I love timber fire safety issues!"Wenxuan Wu is a PhD student at The University of Queensland, and the winner of the student poster competition at the International SWST Convention that took place July 2022 in Australia. His research is about Smouldering issues of CCA-Treated Timber that can cause collapse of wooden buildings after bushfires. Wenxuan holds two master degrees, one in chemical engineering, and a second one in fire safety engineering. He claims that wood has its own advantages when it comes to fire safety, and he is also convinced that for Australia wood might be the best material for constructions. He sees himself as...2022-08-2120 minWood Science TalksVictoria Herian: "It was an amazing experience and very fulfilling !"Victoria ("Vicki") Herian has been the Executive Director of the Society of Wood Science and Technology for the past 46 years.

Die beste Liga der Welt47. Runde // Ein „Schlager“-SpielEs ist Halbzeit. Wir bringen aber noch immer keine neuen Spieler aufs Feld, wir gönnen unseren Talenten eine zweite Halbzeit. Allen. Yusuf Demir, Patrick (genannt Hoffnungs-)Wimmer – und sogar unseren Wortwitzen. War das etwa nicht ein richtiges "Schlager"-Spiel in Salzburg?, will Wagner wissen. Das ist einfach nur schlecht, weiß Schaupp. Wagner will eine zweite Chance. Dazu müssen wir jetzt aber gemeinsam ausholen: Erinnert ihr euch an 1992? Ein dänisches Nationalteam reist direkt aus dem Urlaub zur Europameisterschaft und holt sich den Titel. Wagner, erneut ausufernd: „Da frag ich mich: Reicht eine danish Juventus-Leihgabe für den Dynamite...2020-12-161h 14
