I had a great time at the University of Delaware for the 100th ACS Colloids and Surface Science Symposium! Always the best place to talk science, network, and make new friends. #LlabLlama

Did you like our recent papers on glass transitions in polyelectrolyte complexes? If so, you'll love Isaac A. Ramírez Marrero's new all-encompassing review article "Fundamentals and Design Rules of Polyelectrolyte Complex Materials: A Comprehensive Review"! doi.org/10.1021/acs....

Check out our new paper in @pubs.acs.org Biomacromolecules on "Tuning Protein Uptake through Charge and Hydrophobicity in Peptide-Based Complex Coacervates." You have built up your intuition about a phenomenon. . . and then surprising results happen. doi.org/10.1021/acs....
Protein encapsulation in complex coacervates as a function of charge density, sequence, and hydrophobicity.

Check out the awesome new paper from our group, just published in Biomacromolecules (doi.org/10.1021/acs....)! We looked at sequence effects in peptide complex coacervates. In addition to phase behavior studies, we also identified some really cool rheological phenomena!

It is always bittersweet when a group member leaves. Best of luck to Sarthak as he transitions to a postdoc position at Harvard/MGH! #LlabLlama
