Great review and perspective written by our group and collaborators in Ireland. Hopes this sparks more interest in peptides as printable biocompatible feedstock. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Thank you @HaillieLower !! It was a pleasure working with. See you and all other users again next year at @BioPACIFICMIP !!!!
I wanted to share the exciting opportunity I had at UCSB this week. I learned and conducted polymerizations using flow chemistry. Thank you to the NSF BioPacific MIP for making this possible! I can’t wait for more inter-institutional collaboration in 2022! Go Bruins Go Gauchos!!

The IPO of Olaplex, the bond-building hair brand, is off to a strong start as stock started trading at nearly $4 more than the intended debut, raising about $1.8 billion for Olaplex and giving the company a valuation of around $16 billion. via @yahoolife yahoo.com/lifestyle/olaplex-…

Light and Electricity join forces to make an electrifying discovery that will excite everyone.
On-demand interconversion between living radical and cationic polymerization using two orthogonal stimuli and a dual responsive single catalyst enables the synthesis of copolymer chains where block length is controlled by stimulus duration exposure pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Dr. Meghan Nichol, you will be very missed :( Congrats!
Congratulations to KRG alum, Meghan Nichol, on defending her PhD from UC Santa Barbara! Zoom defenses are not ideal, but I love that it gives me the opportunity to watch my former students successes! #ProudMentor @LewisUniversity @UCSB_chemistry @ReadAlanizteam

Great work!
I’m thrilled to share my first paper in UCSB. Tunable photothermal actuation was demonstrated by leveraging photochemical control of DASA molecular photoswitch. Thank all PIs and coworkers, @ReadAlanizteam and Valentine group.

Prof. Mario Molina, Nobel Laureate 1995, passed away today. An exemplary Mexican scientist and a voice of reason ego battled for decades against mankind’s reckless behavior. #ChemNobel
