A sad & shocking news! I don’t tweet often, but I felt such an urge to tweet today. It was @sirfrasersays brought me to tweeter and advocate science. The stories of his generosity and support for young are endless. Just his last days, he was still writing support letters for me.
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Sir Fraser Stoddart, Nobel Laureate and cherished member of @NorthwesternU. His groundbreaking contributions transformed the field of #chemistry and inspired countless scientists worldwide. ➡️ bit.ly/stoddart-in-memoriam

Excited to share our latest work in #MolecularStrainEngineering: π-Diamond, the first-ever 3D diamondoid superstructure driven solely by π-interactions, published in @angew_chem. So proud of the SOFA Lab @LLLLLJ57452613 @TzzzzB_ @Westlake_Uni! Read: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Thirteen years later, everything has changed, and yet nothing has changed. So fortunate to know both of you and look forward to the years to come.

A new way to recycle plastics! Check out this discovery from a team led by MII's Guoliang "Greg" Liu, an associate professor of chemistry in the Virginia Tech College of Science. This work was recently published in the popular journal Science! news.vt.edu/articles/2023/08…

Guoliang "Greg" Liu talks to @fox5dc about a novel idea: turning used plastic - bags, jugs, one-use food containers - into soap. 🫧fox5dc.com/video/1262753 @VTChemDept @VTresearch

Super proud to host talented Casandrah Catterton as our REU this summer! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw her self-designed and a dozen hand-made logos for our lab! And my group self-organized a farewell party for her. The Liu group always surprises me in such a great way!

After the @GordonConf polymers, I have finally lost my COVID virgin. Although I was wearing a mask most of the time, those who had contact may want to check out too.

The bad news is that I will quarantine in a hotel for another unknown number of days so that the bug doesn’t reach my months-old at home. But the good news is that I will get an upgrade from a dorm bed to a regular bed. And oh yay! It comes with a bathroom!!!

Another year of radish harvest time. A radish from my garden greets its same breed friend from a grocery store.

Ein Forschungsteam um @GregLiu_VT (@virginia_tech) will mit einem chemischen Verfahren den #Kunststoff Polystyrol („Styropor“) upcyceln. Polystyrol ist der am viertmeisten hergestellte Kunststoff in Deutschland und ist darüber hinaus schlecht recycelbar. epaper.tagesspiegel.de/artic…

My dear colleague brought me to this tweet. After years of work, the findings are finally in the literature.

Like the quote “They suggest their process is scalable and even went so far as to calculate the cost of building a plant”. Never a big fan of quick papers. The idea came from UV-lithography experiments back in 2007. Thanks to my PhD advisor for allowing me work in WI synchrotron
