Two days, two manuscripts online! Happy to share this work pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102… led by former postdoc Shawn. We continue to explore the 'polymer of squares' with @ChirikGroup, now examining property changes due to hydrogenation and isomerization of the backbone!

Another paper out! science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… Postdoc Clement took on a big challenge - to synthesize monodisperse liquid crystalline oligomers. These molecules also crystallize, with curvature that (surprising to us!) depends on length. We dug in to try to figure out 'why'!

For 75 years, @NSF has fueled scientific research that drives innovation, strengthens the economy, and expands our understanding of the universe. Proposed budget cuts put their work at risk.

I decided to check out a new platform (šŸ¦‹), so you can find me there under the same handle. not sure how long I'll stick around the bird site. there's just something about watching a sinking ship... #chemsky #chemtwitter

Polymers can be difficult to break down for reuse because they’re so large and sometimes complex. @UWMadCBE’s @whitneysloo is looking at new ways to design and reuse polymers for a sustainable future. engineering.wisc.edu/news/as…
