Columbia University

Columbia University appears in the source archive corpus in two distinct connections, drawn from two different source documents.

Affiliation of Dixon Despommier

Columbia University is the affiliation given in the source for dixon-despommier, the microbiologist described as the "blue-sky thinker behind the vertical farm." The source mentions the university only in that connection.

DNA–silica nanolattice research

Columbia University is named in the ZME Science article quoted in the source archive DNA-Silica dossier as one of three institutions behind the DNA–silica nanolattice material, alongside the University of Connecticut and Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Role in this source

The press article attributes the material to scientists from these three institutions. The dossier does not specify individual affiliations or which institution contributed which portion of the research.

Caveat

This attribution comes from a journalist's paraphrase. The paper's own affiliation block is not reproduced in the dossier.
