Today Vancouver is crying (i.e. it's raining) because postdoc @megangrobertss has left us for exciting new career steps. We celebrated her immense contributions last week & while we can't wait to see what comes next, she will be deeply missed & never forgotten. Thank u Megan!

Great fun at #TAPPINano2024 with new & old friends + @TAPPINanoStdnts. Congrats to the student poster winners, & especially our @andersontvveiga who took home 2nd place. Also celebrated some birthdays in our group at dinner 🎂

Vancouver sun & painting pottery with the group to unwind... Moments like this together are needed. Also - super impressed with everyone's creativity but please keep this as a hobby only!!

It was a month of PhD comprehensive exams/thesis proposal defenses & we now have 3 more doctoral candidates in the group! Congrats to Alex, @andersontvveiga & @TristanRunruLiu for their hard work & exceptional performance in the oral exams. I'm proud of your progress & plans 🧪

Congrats to the winners from @CHBEUBC research day & especially our very own Alex (tied 1st place oral presentation & 1st place "people's choice") & @KudziNyamayaro (1st place poster - postdoc category). It was a wonderful event & great to see everyone's hard work recognized

Happening now! Research presentations & posters (& food!) For @CHBEUBC research day, at the NEST. Lots of smiling faces and fun science & excellent @UBCBioProducts turnout

Valentine's day group yoga. Fun to connect, unwind and celebrate ❤️ of research & working together as a team

Happy holidays, Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year from our group to yours (and friends & family too!). Wishing everyone rest, relaxation and rejuvenation to make 2024 the best yet! 🌲

Ended last week's Brazil trip at the astoundingly impressive @CNPEM 's @NanotecLNNano facilities & SIRIUS synchrotron. Seriously, if u don't know these 🇧🇷 national labs check them out. Thx to Juliana, Elisa & Marcos for hosting & for the wonderful discussions. New collabs coming!

Delighted to be in 🇧🇷 visiting @LaQuiMoBio @matreerials @EupidioScopel & others at UNICAMP chemistry @unicampoficial. Great kickoff to the 🔥 week with a BBQ, seminar & research chats. P.S. the food is so good!!
