(Press-News.org) SAN ANTONIO — June 16, 2025 — The Women’s Global Leadership Conference (WGLC) in Energy has selected Southwest Research Institute’s Angel Wileman for 2025’s Women in Hydrogen 50. This list recognizes 50 women, nominated by their colleagues and peers, as the current and future leaders of the hydrogen economy. This distinction honors Wileman as one of the most accomplished figures in her industry, with the potential to affect real change.
“I am deeply honored to be recognized as a leader in the hydrogen community. Society has the opportunity to create a sustainable, energy-efficient future, and hydrogen is one of great tools in our toolbox,” Wileman said. “I am excited to be a part of the scientific community advancing the adoption of hydrogen technology in Central Texas and across the world.”
As the manager of SwRI’s Thermofluids Section, Wileman is a key contributor to a variety of projects and programs requiring experimental testing, facility design and fabrication, testing support, results analysis, technical reporting and project management. Wileman’s research tackles projects designed to implement hydrogen and natural gas blends and heavy-duty hydrogen refueling technology. Her recent work includes evaluating natural gas meter accuracy in hydrogen blends, researching the effects of blended gas on natural gas peak shaving plants and assessing risk zones for blends transported in bulk containers by rail.
Wileman’s specialty is conceptualizing and constructing flow facilities to address complex energy research needs. She is currently spearheading the launch of H2HD REFUEL, a new industry consortium at SwRI focused on hydrogen refueling stations. The consortium explores component testing, station controls, vehicle hydrogen storage solutions and standardization to facilitate the widespread adoption of hydrogen fuel.
In addition to her work at the Institute, Wileman contributed to numerous efforts to encourage the next generation to pursue careers in engineering. She has mentored high school and college students conducting engineering projects, teaching them valuable technical skills, and she regularly performs outreach to girls and young women about the STEM field. She has given several presentations on behalf of the Society of Women Engineers encouraging undergraduate students to pursue engineering as a career.
Wileman won the 2019 Empowering Women in Industry Leadership in STEM Award for mentoring aspiring engineers and encouraging young people to pursue careers in STEM. In 2023, she was named one of the San Antonio Business Journal’s 40 Under 40.
The Women in Hydrogen 50 list is selected annually by WGLC in partnership with the Hydrogen Economist and H2Tech. A celebratory event will be held in October during the Women’s Global Leadership Conference in Energy in Houston, Texas.
Listen to Angel Wileman discuss decarbonizing with hydrogen on SwRI’s Technology Today podcast.

Life expectancy of American Indian and Alaska Native persons and underreporting of mortality in vital statistics
2025-06-16
About The Study: This longitudinal cohort study found that large life expectancy differences between American Indian and Alaska Native individuals and other U.S. residents have been underestimated due to racial misclassification on death certificates, resulting in the statistical erasure of Indigenous people in routine vital statistics.

Official US records underestimate Native Americans deaths and life expectancy
2025-06-16
A new study in JAMA reveals the “statistical erasure” of Indigenous Americans, finding that the gap between AI/AN life expectancy and the national average was 2.9 times greater than official vital statistics indicate.
Death rates for American Indians’ and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) are far higher than reported in official vital statistics, according to a new study led by a Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) researcher.
Published in JAMA, the nationally representative study found that death certificates for at least 41 percent of AI/AN decedents failed to identify them as AI/AN, in most cases misreporting ...
Father’s mental health plays key role in child development, research shows
2025-06-16
Experts from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago affirm the need to screen new fathers for mental distress, recognizing the mounting research that underscores the importance of fathers in child development. Their invited commentary, published in JAMA Pediatrics, accompanies a systematic review, which found that paternal depression, anxiety and stress in the perinatal period are associated with poorer child development in social, emotional, cognitive and language domains.
“Birth of a child can be highly stressful for both parents,” said lead author Craig Garfield, MD, MAPP, pediatrician and founder of the Family & Child Health Innovations ...
Public water arsenic and birth outcomes in the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes Cohort
2025-06-16
About The Study: In this cohort study of birthing parent–infant dyads across the U.S., arsenic measured in public water systems was associated with birth outcomes at levels below the current U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s maximum contaminant level. The findings suggest that further reducing the maximum contaminant level for arsenic may decrease the number of infants with low birth weight in the U.S.

Paternal perinatal depression, anxiety, and stress and child development
2025-06-16
About The Study: Evidence from this systematic review and meta-analysis indicates that paternal mental distress is a potentially modifiable predictor of child development. Reducing mental distress in fathers perinatally is thus an important target for preventative interventions aiming to support fathers during the transition to parenthood and promote the health and well-being of next-generation offspring.

Exposure to low levels of arsenic in public drinking water linked to lower birthweight, preterm birth
2025-06-16
Babies born to mothers potentially exposed to low levels of arsenic in public drinking water—even at levels below the federal safety standard—were more likely to be born preterm, with lower birthweight, or be smaller than expected, according to a study at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and funded by the National Institutes of Health’s Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program. The findings are published in JAMA Network Open.
While the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sets a maximum contaminant level of 10 micrograms per liter for arsenic in public water systems, this study examines ...

Immune tolerance to gut microbes is initiated by a key bacterial sensor
2025-06-16
Thousands of bacterial and other microbial species live in the human gut, supporting healthy digestion, immunity, metabolism and other functions. Precisely how these microbes are protected from immune attack has been unclear, but now a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators has found that this immune “tolerance” to gut microbes depends on an ancient bacterial-sensing protein called STING—normally considered a trigger for inflammation. The surprising result could lead to new treatments for inflammatory bowel disease and other conditions involving gut inflammation.
In their ...
The genomic organization of ant superorganisms
2025-06-16
Aristotle praised the political organization of ant colonies while ancient Chinese Daoists appreciated ants as illustrative symbols showing how ephemeral human ambitions and power are. Throughout historical and pre-historic times, ant-workers are likely to be the first insects that toddlers relate to when they crawl around on all four.
Similar to so much else in biology, the first scientific understanding of ants goes back to Darwin, who spent many pages of the Origin of Species (1859) on these conspicuous social insects. Their very existence seemed to fly ...
