Another successful preliminary defense for the #ARTists! Excellent job Armin!!!
The reason I love this job! Extremely proud of Jada!
Jada Neal, a senior in bioprocess engineering, and one of 20 Auburn Engineering Undergraduate Research Fellows for 2023-24, has a passion for applying lessons learned in @SymoneAlexander's laboratory and turning them into potential skin care solutions.

Thanks, @ChemistryMIT! I'm grateful that @JuliaKalow shared this vision for how to amplify the voices of women & gender minorities in polymer science. @Po_W_E_R has been made possible w/ our wonderful team @helen_chem, @SymoneAlexander, @saraorski, & Katie Houston. Register now!
Dr. Jill Alty, a postdoctoral researcher in the @KiesslingGroup has brought to life the PoWER conference (to be held July 11-12, 2024), the goal of which is to showcase polymer research conducted by women.

Congratulations to @NOBCChE_OSU on an excellent symposium! We had the one and only @SymoneAlexander as our keynote speaker. Thank you to the E-broad and all our student speakers! @OSU_CBC @OhioStateCBE
It is always an honor to be selected by students to keynote a symposium! I can't wait to spend the two days with the OSU NOBCChE chapter and students and faculty at OSU!
We are hosting a symposium on Tuesday February 6th! This will include the opportunity for student talks (we have provided 6 slots, each 20 minutes) followed by a keynote seminar. Use the QR code in the provided poster to submit an abstract by his Friday January 12th!

The itsy, bitsy spider... helped identify biomechanical systems capable of withstanding large loads w/ sub-millisecond response times, and inspired new micromechanical systems and responsive actuators.
Incredible work by @AuburnU's @SymoneAlexander

Our bioinspiration isn't limited to food - complex assemblies are everywhere! Excited to work with the Smithsonian @NMNH to uncover more fundamental physics, materials, & engineering concepts behind the slingshot spider's unique prey capture strategy.🕷 eng.auburn.edu/news/2023/11/…
Can you recover cellulose from restaurant food waste with no control over the menu or waste composition?
We took the first step towards using real-world food waste to recover valuable biopolymers. Check out the open access manuscript here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti….

Congrats to @mtgchenref, a graduate researcher in the Alexander Research Team at Auburn University, for being featured on the award-winning #GINNing Podcast! Matthew's work in the lab and on the football field is truly impressive. Well done! eng.auburn.edu/news/2023/09/…
Thanks to @NSF EPSCoR Track 2 for funding our goal of understanding the effects of micro plastics on coastal communities in Alabama and Mississippi, reimagining thermoset materials, and using self-assembly as a tool to aid recycling efforts!

Had so much fun representing @AuburnEngineers ChemE and building water filters with the Montgomery Chapter of NSBE this weekend! The future is bright ☀️⚙️ @NSBEMP
If you are at ACS and want to learn how to turn restaurant food waste into microgels, check out #ARTist @mtgchenref’s talk @ 10:40 AM!
