A butadiene-derived semicrystalline polyolefin with two-tiered chemical recyclability - congratulations to Cherish and Shawn on this work!! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Been a bit since our last tweet, everything looks... different?
We have a new article to celebrate. Our 3rd year student Gillian has published her first article in @JMaterChem! Includes special appearances by Ophelia and @_WRArcher! Check it out!! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…
Here it is! Feel free to change/share/whatever. It's meant to be a low-stress way to jot down your idea, transform it into an abstract, and generate text you can use for future proposals, especially if you're anxious and/or waiting for calls. 3 pages. divyampersaud.files.wordpres…
ALT A screenshot of a Word document showing pink headers and titles with black text, with space to fill in the form. The title reads "Idea-to-proposal transformer." The first heading says "idea," just down down some text, think about who, what when, where and why. The next header says "abstract builder," subtitled with "based on Dr. Chrissy Richey's proposal workshop" and an example. Below, there are entries for "state of the art (2-3 sentences)" "missing piece (1-2 sentences)" "innovation (2-3 sentences)" and "transformation (1 sentence)." The next header says "Project formulation" with a subheading of "state of the art" what concepts does your idea draw from? what methods are you building on? With an entry reading "background concept 1."

It’s always exciting when a side project actually turns into a paper! It’s even better when you get to work with fantastic undergrads, Piper and Grace (who are both applying to graduate programs this fall btw)! Check out our work ⬇️! @VirginiaTechMII
First Globe Culinary Night with @polycopmse_VT is such a success!! 🌎 🥘 Thanks everyone for coming!
If you can’t cook, you ain’t a good chemist👩🍳👩🔬 Just saying.
