Pride In the Name Of Love: Finding Strength To Come Out At Work And Inspire Others
Pride In the Name Of Love: Finding Strength To Come Out At Work And Inspire Others
In November 2019, two days before his wedding, David Ilécio flew nine hours from Milwaukee to his mother’s home in Brazil. After a lifetime of secrecy, he mustered up the courage to tell her that he was gay and marrying his partner of 14 years, Aldoney da Silva Dias. He invited her to the wedding in São Paulo and nervously awaited her response. “I have one problem,” she said to him. “You only gave me two days to find a gown!”

Catalyze This: GE Teams Up With DARPA To Build Mobile System For Making DNA And RNA-Based Vaccines
Standing in a lab on the GE Research campus in Niskayuna, New York, John Nelson holds up a sample of synthetic DNA inside a vial that is small enough to fit comfortably between his thumb and forefinger. Nelson, who has worked as a senior principal scientist at GE Research for the last 24 years, says there’s enough synthetic DNA inside that half-gram vile to produce an estimated 5,000 vaccines. “It took us under a day to produce this,” he says.

Engineering The Future: GE Foundation Commits Up To $100 Million To Guide Diverse Kids to Engineering Careers
Before Elizabeth Ivy Johnson interned at NASA’s High School Apprenticeship Research Program, at Florida International University (FIU) in Miami, the summer before her senior year in high school, she never had dreamed of becoming an engineer. She had contemplated becoming a lawyer or accountant — careers she had heard would give her financial stability. She didn’t know any engineers among her family or friends who lived in her Washington, D.C.-area neighborhood when she was growing up.

The Way Forward: How GE Engineers Are Helping Build A Path To A Renewable Future
In the five decades since the first Earth Day, the world has made much progress in understanding the perils posed by climate change and finding the solutions we need. But we are far from done. The switch to electric cars alone will force us to reimagine not only how we make electricity, but also how we distribute it.
Renewables are clearly a big part of the future of energy, but so are natural gas, energy storage, hydropower and the digital grid. Other industries, like aviation, must also decarbonize to help prevent the planet from warming.

Sound Engineering: From Big Cities To Rainforests, Pocket-Size Ultrasound Helps Save Lives Around The World
Last year, Dr. Yale Tung Chen, an emergency medicine clinician in hard-hit Madrid, Spain, became one of a handful of clinicians around the world testing Vscan Air™, a handheld, wireless ultrasound scanner developed by engineers at GE Healthcare. The device, which GE Healthcare released for sale in the U.S. and Europe in March, beamed images from the ultrasound probe to an app on his smartphone, and this quickly became common practice on his daily rounds. “I’ve been using it on COVID-19 patients, scanning hearts, lungs, blocked vessels,” he says.

The Art Of Wind Farm Maintenance: This Software Can Help Keep Wind Turbines Spinning Longer
If you regularly drive long distances, it’s good practice to pop your car’s hood every few months for a thorough inspection of the engine, transmission, radiator, pumps and brakes. But if you’re only clocking up to a few dozen miles per month from the weekly supermarket run, you may be able to take a raincheck on that quarterly checkup.
