My little brother is a huge @BoilerBall fan (and current Purdue PhD student) and a shoe design enthusiast. He entered a contest to win the chance to design a new basketball shoe for Nike and would appreciate your vote (Fan 4). Thanks!

One more with the killer title slide. You inspired a lot of students. Maybe some will make it out to @IslandCampus
I had a great time meeting with faculty and students of @BYU Chemistry representing @IslandCampus and a huge thanks to @wfpaxton for the invite. #chemistry #science

New research from my lab: using enzymes to convert tiny molecular assemblies into artificial cell membranes. Fun collaboration with my friend @TreeSoftMatter led by grad student Nick Bair. #realtimechem tinyurl.com/5n6ud9ek
I'm excited to share that we recently got an NSF CAREER grant to study the fundamentals of polymer crystallization: engineering.byu.edu/news/eng…. I'm thrilled for the opportunity and super grateful to @PolymerPolymath for his work that formed the basis of the grant. Thank you @NSF!
One of my former students, a @BYUChemE PhD grad, was laid off yesterday (not his fault). He is super smart, a hard worker, and good communicator. His latest work was in technical #SoftwareDevelopment. If you have a lead on an open job/postdoc, please send my way.
Reminder: The deadline for abstracts for the AICHE Annual meeting is today (04/08/24) by 11:59 PM EST! Jay Park and I are co-chairing the session on polymer crystallization for @aiche_mesd 08A. If you have any issues with abstract submission, we would be more than happy to help.
The final exam review in my colleague Matt Memmott's materials class was a bit more exciting than usual today.

Excited to share a new article with Jan Garcia and other UCSB folks on some mysteries of coarsening behavior we found. Jan found was that "dynamic asymmetry" in phase separation of polymers is intimately connected to the polymer composition. Check it out! doi.org/10.1063/5.0173992
