Lots of travel recently. Finally made it to a Scialog conference two weeks ago. Wonderful experience, absolutely stunning location. Check out these Tuscon sunrises and sunsets. Thanks @RCSA1 for running these!
Proud to have a former undergraduate lead a first author paper in Advanced Functional Materials. This emerged from a senior thesis project between my group and @ghpaulino !
Engineers at @princeton including @cemilyd and @ghpaulino designed and built soft-rigid hybrid robots that move and shift without the need for motors or external pneumatic controls: engineering.princeton.edu/ne…
New @EPrinceton Chemical and Biological Engineering building at sunset today. Great to finally be wrapping up our big lab move and getting back to research!

3D printing meets fluid mechanics! Thrilled to see our Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics article on direct-ink writing featured by @UTKnoxville. With Brett Compton & Tyler Ray: tickle.utk.edu/mae/news/comp… @AnnualReviews @umdme @ClarkSchool @UMDResearch
New (review) paper out! advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley… . If you're a block copolymers expert interested in additive manufacturing, an AM researcher interested in block copolymers, or broadly interested in the intersection between top-down and bottom-up assembly, this review is for you!
Can't remember the last time I was handed compostable packaging (PLA)... That wasn't mixed in alongside PET, and with composting bins actually available. A nice rare moment of consistency ✅ thanks SFO

The same thing has happened with water bottles. They don’t have to contain as much pressure as soda bottles, so they can be much thinner. And they’ve gotten thinner over time; a modern Niagara water bottle uses 3x less plastic than an Aquafina bottle from less than 20 years ago!

We CT scanned three plastic Coca-Cola bottles from a 50-year range, revealing a significant evolution in how plastic bottles are designed and made. Let’s take a look…🧵
Visited the Sunset Park materials recovery facility with my elective class again today (a windy day!). Always wild to see the pile that is a day in NYC's residential recycling.
Glad I've retained a few non-academic skills. Kiddo requested a Bowser Jr costume and I think we've delivered ✅. Happy Halloween! 🎃
To my colleagues in polymer science: Nominate your stellar graduate students for the APS DPOLY Padden award! Info here: engage.aps.org/dpoly/honors/… . Email your nomination packet to @OsujiChinedum by 5 PM ET 10/23!! (deadline in just three days!)
Apply to @EPrinceton 's new Materials Science PhD program! youtube.com/watch?v=bRpE0Zb-…
Heads up, NSFGRFP solicitation is finally posted. nsf.gov/funding/opportunitie… Deadline now extended to mid-November. Many disappointed second year graduate students who had nearly finished writing proposals and just learned they are ineligible.

"The length of time in
which she weathers
her watch: a brooding.
Imagine her, perched,
pale and love-long,
in some dark shelf,
knowing she will
never meet what
she has made, and
making anyway..."
