This project took ~3 years across multiple institutions, and I am grateful for guidance from @SongJin_Chem and my mentors at @NatLabRockies, Kai Zhu and Matt Beard. Many thanks also to our collaborators at @ChoiseEfrc, CU-Boulder, and U. Toledo for elevating this work! 🙌🎉

We also surveyed 60+ quasi-2D perovskite structures to show how this new "cage balancing" strategy can be broadly achieved and understood. Check it out! Many thanks to @SongJin_Chem @PetrozzaGroup @DanCortecchia and colleagues for their contributions to this work! 🙌 (2/2)

Congratulations to the Jin group for winning the photo contest at the Wisconsin Science Festival! Their Photo, "Chemistry of Crystals" shows off luminescent crystals to explain how chemical structure relates to certain properties. Visit the link below: loom.ly/hJIsc8I

For the first time, our @MarsCuriosity rover has found crystals of pure sulfur on the Red Planet—after rolling over a rock and cracking it open: go.nasa.gov/4bLGG1v

It was a wonderful time meeting everyone, hearing about and presenting exciting new research at the unconventional semiconductors #GRC! Very grateful to have received a poster award. Huge thanks to the chairs Hanwei, @IvanMoraSero, and organizers for the engaging program!
Congratulations to all of the poster award winners at #GRC &GRS on Unconventional Semiconductors! 🙌🎉 @GordonConf Congrats to both Kristel Forlano and Chris @CTTriggs from @SongJin_group for winning the poster awards!👍

The @SongJin_group had a fun time tonight showing off why are crystals so awesome at the annual #WiSciFest Science on the Square! We had a mix of natural #crystals and lab-made #nanoparticles, lead-free #perovskite, & #electrochem. The crowd was awesome despite the rain! 1/2

Outreach is always very rewarding, and it's fun to see curious minds, young and old, leave feeling inspired. Huge thanks to everyone involved: Kristel, Gerardo, Jaan, Kaylin, Yareslie, and 1st year PhD students Jalianet and Rich @RBotz19!

Kinda frosty in MSP today, so I had the chance to see @Delta planes (mine included) being de-iced using propylene glycol. Cool to watch all the action! More if you're curious: news.delta.com/decoding-delt…
