The Philadelphia History Museum at Atwater Kent is set to close and Drexel University may be acquiring the more than 100,000 items in its collection.

Last year, funding from the city was reduced which put a financial strain on the museum. When Temple University withdrew from a proposed partnership June 2018, the museum had to close its doors to the public. At the end of January, the sole remaining employee of the museum, director and chief executive, Charles Croce, resigned.

The Philadelphia History Museum was established in 1938 and has been in its current location at 15 S. Seventh St. since 1941. The building that was to house the museum was bought by a radio manufacturer Atwater Kent and subsequently donated to the city.

The museum had over 450 artifacts, including the presidential desk of George Washington and a drinking glass of Benjamin Franklin, which have now been moved to a climate controlled facility.

Residents of Philadelphia may be concerned that these artifacts will be sold off, but Rosalind Remer, Drexel’s vice provost and executive director of the Drexel University Lenfest Center for Cultural Partnerships, assured the Inquirer that nothing of value or significance to the city would be sold.

“Drexel is committed to do the best thing to keep this collection viable,” Page Talbott, former president of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, told the Inquirer. “The stuff isn’t just going to the auction block en masse.”

Talbott has been organizing the museum’s belongings. The pieces from the collection have also been reviewed by historians and curators. All of the items have been offered to local museums and historical houses and some were accepted. However, no items have been sold yet, according to Talbott.

“We are excited about a potential partnership with the museum and Drexel University to ensure that the entire collection is available to more people than ever before,” City Managing Director Brian Abernathy told the Inquirer. “The city is committed to ensuring Philadelphia’s history through the museum’s collection is accessible to the public and remains within Philadelphia and the region.”

Drexel University plans to work with the city and the museum to digitize most of the collection to make it available online. As for the artifacts, while there will be no physical location for the museum, the hope is to have the city’s history shown everywhere.

“What was in the museum [building] was the tip of the iceberg and wasn’t really used in telling Philadelphia’s story,” Remer told the Inquirer.

“The museum [building] is so small it could only scratch the surface,” she said said. “We’re interested in how we can get as much as possible out into the city of Philadelphia, making it available not just to museums. Why shouldn’t people be seeing it at the airport or in library branches or rec centers?”

Drexel’s tentative plan for the collection will be presented at the National Constitution Center Feb. 27 and no final decisions will be made until after this meeting.

Jonathan Purtle, an assistant professor for Drexel University’s Dornsife School of Public Health, received a $500,000 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to research public policy and childhood development.

Purtle has gathered a project team, which includes Sarah Gollust, an assistant professor from the University of Minnesota; John Rich, an assistant professor at Dornsife; and Michael Yudell and Felice Le-Scherban, both assistant professors at Dornsife.

The project team is looking to learn more about how policy makers and the general public think about toxic stress in children and what policies they would be willing to adopt to address such problems.

While stress is normal, toxic stress occurs when there is prolonged stress present in a child’s life. Adverse childhood experiences contribute to toxic stress. The most common ACE in the United States is economic hardship, followed by the divorce or separation of a parent or guardian. Other common ACEs in the nation include substance abuse, exposure to violence and mental illnesses.

About 46 percent of children in the United States have experienced at least one ACE. The number is higher among black and Hispanic children, with 61 percent of black children and 51 percent of Hispanic children experiencing one or more ACE across the country. These numbers are lowest among Asian children, with 23 percent having experienced one or more ACE.

ACEs contribute to toxic stress and it has been found that toxic stress can cause changes to a child’s brain function and structure. These changes can affect learning ability and the ability to adapt to difficult situations. The impacts of toxic stress can also increase a child’s risk to develop cardiovascular diseases and cancer later in life.

Purtle believes that these scientific results could lead to prejudices against vulnerable families if they are not communicated effectively. He wants to use this grant to explore how best to broach these issues with legislators and the public and determine what policies would be supported to combat these issues.

“I hope the study will generate knowledge that can be used to improve the effectiveness of advocacy efforts and advance policies that reduce exposure to toxic stress and enhance resilience,” Purtle told DrexelNow.

The study to be conducted by Purtle and his team will have three phases. During the first phase, the team will interview those involved in child advocacy and analyze news coverage of topics related to childhood adversity and toxic stress. In the second phase, the team will look at how different ways of framing the scientific evidence about toxic stress are received by the public and explore what prejudices might arise. The third stage will look at how legislators on health, welfare, and education committees respond to different ways of conveying the evidence.

“By randomizing laypeople and policymakers to read messages in which toxic stress is framed in different ways, and then assessing their opinions, the study will produce solid evidence about the most effective ways of communicating about toxic stress,” Purtle told DrexelNow.

The grant will also allow Purtle and his team to work with policymakers to develop more effective ways to balance the health inequality in the nation.

Over 70 community organizations are expected to benefit from this year’s 22nd annual Holiday Toy Drive held by Drexel University’s Office of Government and Community Relations.

Last year, over 5,000 toys were given away; this year, Drexel is looking to donate more than that, according to Dimitrios Boufidis, director of business and city affairs for Drexel’s Office of Government and Community Relations.

Boufidis said that the organizations that will benefit are located all over the city, but most are located in North and West Philadelphia. Some of these organization include the Dorothy Mann Center at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children and the People’s Emergency Center.

“Every little bit helps and is so appreciated by the community.  While donating something as small as a deck of cards might not seem like much, it will be one more gift for a child to open who might not normally receive any presents during the holiday season,” Boufidis told The Triangle via email.

Collection boxes have been available since late November and will remain so until Dec. 18. These collection boxes can be found on the University City, Queen Lane and Center City campuses. Exact locations include the Office of the President in the Main Building, the Recreation Center lobby, the lobby of the Bellet Building, the New College Building lobby, the Queen Lane lobby and the 10th floor of the 3 Parkway Building among others.

“The need for toys goes across all demographics, so any new toys for all ages and genders are needed and appreciated. We ask that no guns of any kind be donated, but we receive everything from stuffed animals to remote control cars,” Boufidis said. “Every toy will find a loving home.”

In addition to donating toys, interested community members can help bag the toys on Dec. 6 and 7 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Great Court of the Main Building. The toys will be bagged in eco-friendly materials. Also, refreshments will be served.

“We would love to have students be involved in any way they can,” Boufidis said. “The Drexel Community is also invited to attend the Toy Drive Ceremony on December 19. While there won’t be any activities to participate in at the ceremony, spreading the holiday cheer is always encouraged.”

For those who would prefer to use a bank card to contribute to the Annual Holiday Toy Drive, donations can be made online.

New research from Drexel University’s College of Engineering might show the ideal surface texture for helping cancer-fighting nanoparticles stay in the bloodstream.

Hao Cheng, an assistant professor at Drexel’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering, led the research to find out how best to keep nanoparticles in the body for longer periods of time.

Nanoparticles are being used in medicine to travel through the bloodstream with the purpose of finding and penetrating cancerous tumors. These nanoparticles have shown potential in being able to find and treat tumors, but they cannot survive in the bloodstream for very long.  

“Most synthetic nanoparticles are quickly cleared in the bloodstream before reaching tumors. Short blood circulation time is one of the major barriers for nanoparticles in cancer therapy and some other biomedical applications,” Cheng said to DrexelNow.

The new research shows that surface topography might be essential in figuring out how to keep nanoparticles in the bloodstream.

Nanoparticles are tagged with proteins once they enter the body so that the immune system recognizes them as foreign bodies and removes them. Previously, scientists believed that macrophages held the main responsibility of removing foreign bodies from blood, but Cheng’s research shows that liver sinusoidal endothelial cells are also important to removing nanoparticles.

“This was a somewhat surprising [find],” Cheng told DrexelNow. “Macrophages are normally considered the major scavenger of nanoparticles in the blood. While liver sinusoidal endothelial cells express scavenger receptors, it was largely unknown that reducing their uptake of nanoparticles could have an even more dramatic effect than efforts to prevent uptake by macrophages.”

In order for nanoparticles to stay in the bloodstream, they must be protected from both macrophages and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells.

Cheng and other researchers at Drexel found that coating the nanoparticle with two different layers creates a barrier to protect nanoparticles from being targeted for removal.

These two layers are created using polyethylene glycol, a polymer used to coat nanoparticles. One layer, which is dense and brush-like, can repel proteins while another layer, made by grafting PEG and creating a mushroom like shape, can prevent protein absorption.

“Our hierarchal bi-layer approach is a clever way to combine the advantages of both the brush configuration, as well as low-density PEG layers that form mushrooms,” Christopher Li, a professor in the College of Engineering and co-author of the paper, told DrexelNow.

This two layer approach allowed nanoparticles to stay in the bloodstream for up to 24 hours, which is double the amount of time previously.

“This discovery suggests that we have identified the optimal PEG configuration for coating nanoparticles,” Wilbur Bowne, a cancer surgeon and professor in Drexel’s College of Medicine, said. “Prolonging the circulation time to 24 hours expands the possibilities for using nanoparticles in cancer therapy and diagnosis.”

This year’s Fall Career Fair, hosted by the Steinbright Career Development Center, will be held Thursday, Oct. 11, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Drexel University Armory.

The career fair is open to all Drexel students but will benefit those seeking full-time work the most, according to Helena Reid, a career services coordinator at SCDC.

A list of companies that will be present at the fair is on the Steinbright website. Barclays, Bloomberg, Comcast, Johnson & Johnson, Lockheed Martin, and Oracle are just some of the organizations that will be represented.

“The career fair will be similar [to those in the past] but there are always new employers that attend the career fair every year,” Reid commented.

There will be several workshops in preparation for the event. These workshops will help students learn how to properly research companies they are interested in speaking with, Reid told the Triangle. Additionally, students planning to attend should bring their resumes to be critiqued.

The workshops will be held Tuesday, Oct. 9, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., 3 to 4 p.m. and 5 to 6 p.m. and Wednesday, Oct. 10, from 1 to 2 p.m. and 4 to 5 p.m.

Resume tips for students can be found on the Steinbright website. SCDC also holds drop-in hours for students to go over their resumes with career counselors.

“Students should do their research on the employers they want to speak with and practice their 30-second introduction. [They should also] bring several copies of their resume,” Reid said in an email to The Triangle, when asked how students should prepare for the career fair.

To attend the event, students must complete and print a name badge, which can also be found on the Steinbright website.

The Engineering and Technology Career Fair that took place in February was a success, and there will be another engineering- and technology-specific career fair in the near future, with the date to be announced.

“Ask for business cards and follow-up with thank-you emails within 48 hours. Remember to breathe,” Reid advises.

A packing party was held May 16 to assemble over 500 Commencement Boxes for online students that will not be able to attend graduation this year.

The packing party was a two hour long event held in the multi-purpose room of North Hall from 2 to 4 p.m. It was hosted by Drexel University Online. On-campus students were encouraged to help, and those in attendance were able to meet the Drexel mascot, Mario, and have a free pizza lunch.

Each “Commencement in a Box” contained a mortar board and tassel, a bumper sticker, a pin, a pen and a gift from the student’s specific college. These boxes will be sent to students who cannot travel to Philadelphia to partake in the in-person graduation ceremony on June 12 and 13.

This is the second year that this event was held, and was originally started as a way to connect the online and on-campus students.

“We are excited to launch yet another new tradition that encourages on-campus students to help their online peers celebrate this amazing milestone no matter where they are located,” Susan Aldridge, Drexel’s senior vice president for online learning, said.

Drexel University has over 7,000 online students from every state in the U.S. and more than 30 countries worldwide. The online program started in 1996 and currently offers over 140 degree and certificate programs.

“Drexel University Online is committed to supporting and celebrating Drexel’s online students throughout their student experience with us, which includes commencement,” Aldridge said.

The on-campus commencement spans two days, June 12 and 13, at various locations on campus and around Philadelphia. Each college has their own ceremony and a university-wide commencement will be held at Citizen’s Bank Park at 7:30 p.m. June 13.

From April 13 to May 26, an exhibit called the ROCKERS will be on display in the Westphal Colle ge of Media Arts & Design’s Leonard Pearlstein Gallery showcasing 124 photographs taken by famous American rock photographer, Bob Gruen.

The exhibit includes 65 contact sheets, a handful of both black and white as well as color photos and a “Teenage Bedroom” display.

Gruen was in attendance on the opening night of the gallery and he was back at the Pearlstein Gallery May 3 for a book signing and a discussion about his career with music journalist, Rona Elliot.

Bob Gruen was a music photographer for more than 40 years and acted as John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s personal photographer and close friend, according to his website.

“Bob understood what we were doing. He was interested in photographing John as he was, whether the photos would one day sell or not,” Ono once said of Gruen.

In the 1970s, Gruen was the chief photographer for Rock Scene Magazine and worked with some of the most recognizable names in the rock and roll world, including Elton John, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Kiss, The Who, and Ramones.

“Bob Gruen was a part of the entire rock scene, as much as any band, really, because he was one of those guys that everybody really liked and he always seemed to get the money shot,” Alice Cooper said in the film “Rock ‘N’ Roll Exposed.”

Gruen has written a number of books and his work has been displayed in galleries across the globe. Some of his photographs are featured in the National Portrait Gallery in London and the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle.

Very few of Gruen’s pictures are of actual performances or concerts. Instead, Gruen specializes in capturing intimate moments of band members.

“Rock-and-roll bands are like families: groups of dysfunctional people trying to get along. It’s about learning how to catch the moment when they all looked comfortable with one another,” Gruen told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Gruen’s behind the scenes style is represented in the collection on display at the Pearlstein gallery. One such candid photo shows the Sex Pistols having fun together at a diner in Luxenburg in 1977 and another shows Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious traveling the same year.

Gruen toured with many bands, but some of the most frequently shown artists in the gallery were the Ramones, John Lennon (the Beatles), Joe Strummer (Clash) and Sid Vicious (Sex Pistols).

Aside from the photographs and contact sheets, there was a set-up called the “Teenage Bedroom” which was a room staged as Gruen would imagine a teenage girl’s bedroom would be during the era when he took photographs. There was a messy bed, a pair of Doc Martins, a desk full of school notebooks and a radio playing. On the wall of the room were posters, magazines and pictures, all of which displayed Gruen’s work.

An entertainment and arts management and art history sophomore at Drexel University, Caroline Phelps, said that her favorite part of the exhibit was a photo that showed Alice Cooper and Salvador Dali from 1973.

“I like it because I’m into art history,” Phelps said.

In the photo, Salvador Dali is holding a brain over Alice Cooper who is wearing just a crown and a necklace. Phelps explained that she liked to see the mixture of icons from two different fields, art history and rock ‘n’ roll.

The exhibition, located on 34th and Filbert streets, is free and open to the public Tuesdays through Sundays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

A team of roughly 80 Drexel University engineering, computer science, finance and marketing students banded together to form the Drexel Hyperloop Team that worked for over a year and a half to design and build a pod displayed at a SpaceX competition in California this past January.

Hyperloop is an alternative mode of transportation that would cost less than a train and travel faster than an airplane. Pressurized pods would be sent through vacuumed-sealed steel tubes at very high speeds with little to no wind resistance.  The system would be run off renewable energy, as there would be solar panels attached to the top of the tubes.

Since June of 2015 when Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors and founder and CEO of SpaceX,  announced the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition, the Drexel Hyperloop Team worked to build a pod.

“The team was born out of a senior design for the College of Engineering with 10 subsystems that rolled up into one Hyperloop pod,” Miranda Shroyer, a fourth-year junior with a finance, business analytics, and management information systems major, explained.

According to Shroyer, in the beginning there were only about 20 students working on the project, but at its largest, the Drexel Hyperloop Team had 120 members.

“It started as a grassroots effort where students were recruiting their friends and students were recruiting other people within their college and students were working to attain a goal. There was an actual product that was delivered at the end,” Shroyer said.

Shroyer, who joined the effort in February 2016, was the leader of the steering committee and the head of sponsorship.

Building a hyperloop pod is not an easy or inexpensive task. The team initially set out with a goal to fundraise $120,000 for parts. In the end, they were able to raise around $75,000.

In order to raise that money, Shroyer had regular meetings with Drexel’s College of Engineering associate vice president of Institutional Advancement, Michelle Yurko. Shroyer would detail how much money the team needed and for what purpose and Yurko would help her find connections that could potentially donate money. Some of those connections included Boeing and PECO.

“Drexel supported us wholeheartedly,” Shroyer noted. “Drexel will give you anything you need, you just need to find it. The university was so supportive of us and all the hard work we put into it.”

Shroyer was initially apprehensive to give presentations to potential donors but with the help of her partner, Yoshi Mua, she was able to get over her nerves. Mua and Shroyer would spend several hours together every week, not necessarily going over their presentation but getting comfortable with each other. Once it came down to actually asking for money, Shroyer had gotten over her fear.

“Presenting was easy and a no brainer,  [Mua and I] got to talk about something we loved… and once I realized that these people are genuinely interested in what I have to say and that I am so excited about this project I was able to move on.”

There were several different tier levels for donors. Gold level donors gave over $10,000 and had the largest logos on the pod. These donors included Drexel University, who gave around $25,000, and an Australian biomedical group, ide Group. Blue level donor gave above $5,000, Dragon level donated above $1,500 and Bronze level donors gave above $500. Their logos on the pod varied based on tier level.

“We had a combination of supply donations,  software donations, and cash donations…and we spent all of it buying parts to build the actual pod,” Shroyer said.

In order to make it to the final stage of the competition, the team first had to make it through two preliminary rounds. Twelve hundred initial designs were submitted in the first round from 16 different countries. Drexel’s design was chosen along with designs from 120 other teams.

These teams attended a design weekend at Texas A&M in January of 2016. After presenting their design in Texas, the Drexel Hyperloop Team was one of 31 selected to move on to the building phase of the competition. Teams built their designs and then showed them off at the SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California this past January.

“When we went out to SpaceX in January, we didn’t run our pod in the actual tube but we displayed it and had all our subsystems out and open so you could see what was inside of our pod. In the end, we had six or seven subsystems,” Shroyer explained. “What we were able to accomplish in a year was significant but it still wasn’t enough time.”

The model that was built by the Drexel Hyperloop Team was a quarter scale model and reached a maximum speed of 250 miles per hour. A full scale hyperloop pod could reach 760 miles per hour and fit about 60 people. A 35-minute trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco would cost about $35 dollars per person.

A credit course was offered at Drexel with Professor Pramod Abichandani to look into Hyperloop’s real world feasibility.  

“We analysed what a Hyperloop would look like and we determined the best business case, at least initially, is actually cargo because the safety factor doesn’t have to be as high and as a long term proof of concept, it’s cheaper,” Shroyer noted.  

Dubai has invested funds into developing a hyperloop and it is still being looked into as a feasible mode of transportation.

SpaceX plans to make this competition annual, and while the Drexel Hyperloop Team isn’t currently active, there is a Hyperloop Competition II scheduled for August 25-27.

The 2017 Philadelphia Flower Show, hosted by the Philadelphia Horticultural Society , was held in the Convention Center from March 11 to 19.

PHS hosts a flower show annually, and this year marked the 188th show. It is the world’s largest indoor event of its kind, drawing a crowd of more than a quarter of a million people.

The theme of this year’s show was “Holland: Flowering the World,” with many of the presentations including hallmarks of the Netherlands such as bicycles, windmills, wooden clogs and red lights.

“The beauty of Dutch culture and… the nation’s ingenuity and leadership in sustainable energy and gardening,” was the theme according to visitphilly.com.

There were more than 30,000 tulips at the Convention Center. One singular display, hanging over the entrance of the show, had over 6,000 freshly cut flowers. A brick bridge also located at the entrance was a nod to Amsterdam and the city’s well known bridges.

The show was also the first in North America to showcase a 30-foot-tall Eco-dome, which served to highlight Holland’s sustainable energy and gardening. In order to be transported to Philadelphia from Holland, the dome had to be broken down into over 100 pieces and shipped. It included bio-based furniture, a living wall, fruit trees, climbing plants, herbs and edible plants.

Tickets at the door were $22 for students, $35 for adults and $17 for children. Proceeds went to PHS and will help fund events such as the PHS City Harvest, Philadelphia LandCare and the Plant One Million initiative.

“I really liked the pieces where the flowers were used to remake pieces of famous art. I never thought of flowers being used as anything other than just flowers,” Sabrina Martin, a pre-junior mathematics major, said about her favorite display at the show.

In addition to the flower displays, there were many other things for patrons to do, including a walk through exhibit of 1,000 butterflies of 20 different species, both domestic and exotic. Newly introduced to the show this year, visitors could also get a massage at the Garden Spa.

An early morning tour was available for purchase. This $105 package included early access to the show and the Members Lounge. Patrons could also reserve a spot at the Tea Garden to have tea and a snack for $28.

There were also places to eat and drink at the show, including an Aramark beer garden and a Fine Wine and Good Spirits tasting area. More than 180 booths were selling a variety of products, from succulents to garden gnomes.

During the week, there were also presentations being held. Guest speakers came to talk about different issues such as how to grow vegetables year-round. There was also a book signing and a live presentation of awards in various different categories.  

The theme for next year’s show is already picked out. Taking place from March 3 to 11, 2018, the “Wonder of Water” flower show will once again be held at the Philadelphia Convention Center.
