We are delighted to welcome Spencer Kearns over the summer as a part of VT's REU program. Spencer is senior at VT majoring in BS Chem. We look forward to experience some exciting research in polysaccharides from him soon!

Sarah and I went to the Netherlands for her 2nd PhD defense! Now she has a PhD jointly awarded from @vtchemdept.bsky.social & @maastrichtu.bsky.social with a diploma the size of a large suitcase to prove it. Her 5 'opponents' put her through the ringer, but she came out victorious. Congrats, Sarah!
