Sharell Mikesell might have been born in Coshocton, but these days he is in frequent communication with multi-million dollar businesses and CEOs across the United States pitching to them why they should partner with The Ohio State University. "My activity is across a very broad spectrum of science and technologies. The puzzle is to match the technologies that are needed by industry with the science," Mikesell said. "The professors talk very well about the science, but what the industries want to know is who cares and what could this do for me. That's the role I play in providing the translational component so that it sparks and peaks the interest of industry." |

How better to inspire the best and brightest faculty members at The Ohio State University (OSU) than to take them out around the State and show them, first-hand, the reach and impact that teaching, research, and service have on Ohio communities and residents. In September 2009, this 2-day traveling seminar took newly hired, newly tenured, or faculty new to senior leadership positions on the road to meet community partners, talk with current and future Ohio State students, learn from business and community leaders, and get acquainted with other faculty who may be partners for future projects. |

Come September, a soy-based toner created with soybean oil, called AgriTone™, will be available for select laser printers.
For more than a decade, using farmer contributed checkoff dollars, the Ohio Soybean Council (OSC) has worked in partnership with Battelle, headquartered in Columbus, to develop an environmentally friendly toner utilizing soybeans. This bio-based toner replaces traditional petroleum-based toner and is an example of OSC's efforts to continue discovering new uses for soybeans and soybean byproducts.
"We are pleased to see this project come to fruition," said Keith Kemp, OSC Chairman. "OSC continues to be a strong innovator and leader in funding research to develop soy biobased products and the soy toner project has been by far our biggest success."
Advanced Image Resources, Inc. (AIR) is the licensee of this technology. The company manufacturers the soy-based resin, called BioRez, which contains 60 percent bio-based products. This resin is a vital component in the production of the toner. |
