Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈 I drew this last year using all kinds of natural and synthetic dyes, pigments, etc. Many of them were taken from books on textile dyes that I poured through. This took a ton of time and a ton of research. But, it was a fun piece to create! #chemtwitter – at Spartanburg, SC

Here's a snapshot of my grad school funding. I was grateful to get scholarships in grad school. However, grad students today, 15 years later, will recognize those amounts as unchanged. #SupportOurScience
