Labor “that is enforced under conditions of total control is, unquestionably, slavery,” write three members of NYU’s Prison Education Program Research Lab. “By all norms of international law it is a violation of fundamental human rights.”

My favorite and most proud work from my PhD is now online cell.com/chem/fulltext/S2451… . Inspired by the classic Morse potential, we developed an intuitive physical organic model for C-C bond under force with experimental validations.

Everyone go work for Ellie!
Excited to be joining the University of Waterloo @UWaterloo in January as an Assistant Professor in Chemical Engineering! The Prince Lab will design functional polymer networks for healthcare and sustainability. I can't wait to get started 🧪🔬⚗️

Congratulations to Dr. Wencong Wang (@wwang) & team on their new JACS paper presenting proof-of-concept for a new approach to polymer–polypeptide/protein conjugation offering opportunities for the generation of diversely functionalized conjugates.

Don’t miss out on Alayna’s open-access ChemComm paper reporting the synthesis of low Tg polysilylethers via entropy-driven ROMP, which are subsequently depolymerized w/ additional ROMP catalyst & deconstructed w/ acid & fluoride!!
Way to go Alayna 💫 🎉
New communication from @johnsonchem & Alayna M. Johnson 'Orthogonally deconstructable and depolymerizable polysilylethers via entropy-driven ring-opening metathesis polymerization'

Our new recycling strategy is out in @J_A_C_S! Comonomer additives enable deconstruction of polystyrene to small fragments, which can be repolymerized back to same/high MW. Thermomech properties preserved! @johnsonchem @EllieChemistry @Sipei5 @Peyton_Shieh pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…
Honored to join this community. There is so much to do, and I can't wait share what I know and learn what I don't.
We are thrilled to announce the recipients of the 2022 Switzer Fellowships! We are inspired by these environmental leaders and proud to have them join a community of 700+ fellows in the Switzer Network. Learn more here and please join us in welcoming them! switzernetwork.org/become-fe…

As an undergrad I wanted to work on my ideas but had to instead work in potato fields to help my single mom raise me and my brother. To enable dreams of young researchers I am excited to announce a $10K Nano-Innovator Grant for students/postdocs. Please RT tilabberkeley.com/nano-innov…

I would say I broadly had a pretty crappy week but the light at the end of the tunnel was getting to celebrate my awesome friend's @sphwng amazing paper in @NatureCatalysis with a picnic and drinks! nature.com/articles/s41929-0…

Now that it's all official, I am very excited to announce that I will be starting my independent career at @csu_chemistry this Fall. I can't wait to join this awesome department that has already made Fort Collins feel like home.
