✨ Happy New Year! ✨

Grateful for the conversations, collaborations, and learning that shaped the past year. Wishing everyone a year filled with curiosity, meaningful work, good health, and bold ideas.

Looking forward to new connections and thoughtful exchanges in 2026. 🌱

Offering help with chemistry (high school, undergraduate or postgraduate studies) or assistance with editing bachelor's, master's, doctoral theses, specializations, or scientific articles for international journals, feel free to contact me via DM or at radechem@gmail.com.

Here's what today's Nobel Prize in Economics was all about: the importance of science and technology in driving economic growth, and the need for churn in companies to sustain it.
(Peter Howitt's name seems to have got massacred in subediting: will get that fixed asap)

You already know those are my favorite 🤭. Unfortunately, I couldn’t attend, but I hope to repay the kindness in the future.

P.S.Saw some of my professors from undergrad 🥰 – including Prof. Snežana Zarić, who kindly invited me last year to conferences at my Alma Mater, Faculty of Chemistry at University of Belgrade, Serbia on noncovalent interactions. #supramolecular #chemistry #nanotechnology

This experience left me both grateful and excited for the future — I can’t wait to contribute more to this fantastic event and the community it creates. 💡🤝Here’s to science, collaboration, and the friendships that make it all even better! 🥂 ✨

It was such a joy to reconnect with familiar faces, meet inspiring new colleagues, and feel the energy of scientists from over 15 countries coming together to exchange knowledge, build connections, and spark collaborations. 🌍🔬

✨ What an amazing experience!

ICCBIKG 2025 🔥

I had the honor of serving as a guest of my ex-mentor, Dr. Biljana Šmit, at this year’s conference in my hometown, Kragujevac, Serbia.

So cool!

A BRIEF HISTORY OF NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE

After receiving the sad news about the passing of Edwin Becker, I ran across his report in Analytical Chemistry titled "A Brief History of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance". It is a well-written piece that will entertain the magnetic resonance enthusiast. #chemsky #NMRsky pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Cover of a book titled: Mary Kitagawa: A Nikkei Canadian Life by Karen M Inouye. The cover image is a black and white photograph of Mary as a young girl wearing a flowery dress and sitting similing in a grassy meadow. The photograph is aged and has some staining.

As we watch the government build large camps to round up “illegals” based on nothing more than their ethnicity, I highly recommend reading about the experiences of Japanese immigrants in North America.

A book I just read & can recommend is Mary Kitagawa: A Nikkei Canadian Life by Karen M Inouye.

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.

However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Thank you, Jon! Appreciate your message.

Thank you for your time and for supporting science during moments of transition.

Warm regards,
Radoslav Pavlovic, Ph.D.

If you are aware of any openings, collaborations, or ways to support my work during this time, I would be sincerely grateful. Please feel free to reach out or connect me with the appropriate contact.

I'm particularly interested in collaborations involving NMR, biomaterials, and translational medicine, but I’m also open to opportunities in fields related to materials with other important functions.

Among other data, this piece of research features multiphase and multinuclear high and ultrahigh-field (1.2 GHz) NMR data collected over three years of dedicated effort.

I am passionate about continuing impactful scientific work. I contributed to publications on advanced materials for cartilage repair and am currently completing a study on spinal cord regeneration.

I hold a valid H1B visa through May 2027, which is transferable, and my green card is approved and currently processing. Prof. Songi Han and Prof. Samuel Stupp, and my PhD advisor, Prof. Jovica Badjic, are fully supportive and available to provide strong recommendations.

I am therefore openly seeking:
1) New research, teaching, or staff scientist positions in academia or industry (on-site or remote)
2) Short-term collaboration opportunities

Due to a sudden federal funding cuts that affected multiple universities, including Northwestern, my current support will end after July 2025. This puts both my research and visa status in a vulnerable position.

My expertise spans synthetically designed structures, as well as peptide-, lipid-, and carbohydrate-based materials. I am currently a Research Associate at Northwestern University, where I study nanomaterials for regenerative medicine and neurological health.

Open to Opportunities & Support for Ongoing Scientific Work
Dear colleagues/friends,
My name is Radoslav Pavlovic, and I’m a scientist specializing in the supramolecular chemistry of biomaterials, with a strong background in magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

As life progresses, I invest in peace, consistency, stability, respect, and loyalty. I have high personal and professional goals that won’t be limited by others. Despite stressors, I stay focused on positive and productive days. Love to you all!

These are fascinating. It is breathtaking what type of life forms can water support. I am assuming this is water with high salt concentration. 🙂

So many samples 😅
