'Would you rather live in our house, or a ghost house (from Mario), or an ice house on a river that melts when it gets warm, or a desert house?' (we all said our house except the Taco Bell nacho fries on the table, which apparently preferred the ghost house)

CCS --> NACS --> NACS --> CCS 😅

Oh I know. I am just tired of the creep. We've started doing extended datasets for everything. Good practice but the curation takes forever. I want to do the science, not press buttons on websites!

For everyone who submits manuscripts to arxiv (or chemrxiv), curious why you decide to do it? I like the idea in principle but just submitting a paper usually takes me over an hour. Arxiv seems like yet another 'thing'. Is it really worth the additional time input?

Dodged a thunderstorm at Mt Holyoke and ready for the GRC on the Science of Adhesion!

For the first time ever, recorded atmospheric CO₂ has exceeded 430ppm! The last time CO₂ consistently reached today’s human-driven levels was ∼14 Million years ago, with shorter periods of similar levels around 3-5 Million years ago. 1/3

Pattern of CO2 over the past 66 Million years. The curve begins around 720ppm, peaks at 1600ppm 51 Million years ago and then declines toward today when a marked increase in CO2 is observed that is caused by human CO2 emissions.

Applications are now open for the NSF-supported Future Faculty Workshop in Soft Matter, to be hosted at UC Irvine @ucirvine.bsky.social on July 15-17! Please help us spread the word—mentee applications are accepted until March 31st: shorturl.at/grUek

I’m very excited to finally share the results of a passion project that has been on my mind for nearly a decade. You can find the pre-print below, but what follows is the saga of how this project came to be:

Hope manufacturers are listening for the next generation of instruments... 😅

Is the FIB-to-TEM workflow integrated/automated? (I should have looked closer. Still a wild level of data... I met @jessheebner.bsky.social out of the blue about a year ago and have been getting more excited about trying some of these approaches with soft matter since then... !)

🤩 I feel like I blinked and suddenly cryo slice and view SEM tomography could do.... this...! The last time I checked, FIB just burned all of our soft matter samples beyond recognition!!!

Love our EVs! But will share what is obvious in retrospect: don't use one pedal driving in snow/ice/rainy conditions where the roads are slick. Regen braking doesn't trigger antilock breaks and the heavy EVs will sliiiide even at low speed. Speaking from experience unfortunately 😭.

4 yo asked Santa for glitter pens and then asked him why the North Pole is melting. Might have taught kiddo a bit too much about climate change...

Internal to our lab we have a massive set of colored stickers. Chart on the wall says what each color corresponds to (a different location in the lab). Makes it much much harder to accidentally store a chemical in the wrong place.

Thanksgiving crafts with the kids and I decided to make something to bring to work... Hoping these make it easier to explain different kinds of copolymers to students and visitors without a polymer background! Thanks @stache-lab.bsky.social for the idea!

Yup!!!! My first thought when they first made this app!

Calling all polymer scientists! Let’s re-find each other as people continue to migrate over! Please tag people in the comments and share! I’ll continue updating as we find more people. #polymers go.bsky.app/AgjxzFa

Took my class on a field trip to North America's largest metals/glass/plastic materials recovery facility. Check out half a days worth of NYC recycling in this pile! Material can come in by truck or by barge. Amazing visit. Thanks to Princeton's ProCES program for the support!

Looks like a great opportunity (for 2025, the year is a typo per @rpslab.bsky.social !)
