It was awesome to have AIChE in Boston! Great time to catch up with friends and colleagues and of course #LlabLlama!
A luxury to have AICHE in Boston this year!

Check out the awesome new paper from our group, just published in Biomacromolecules (doi.org/10.1021/acs.biomac.5…)! We looked at sequence effects in peptide complex coacervates. In addition to phase behavior studies, we also identified some really cool rheological phenomena!
