Halloween is peak materials science season 🎃
Candy = polymer chemistry
Pumpkin spice = molecular aroma design
Fake blood = non-Newtonian flow
Science never looked so spooky (or sweet). 👻🧪

Bluesky:
Lunch with a side of mentorship! 💼
Students connected with industry professionals to talk about careers, innovation, and the path from classroom to industry. 🌟
#Mentorship #IndustryConnections #CareerGrowth

🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂

It is time to celebrate with my group, collaborators and friends. I feel privileged to be a scientist and be able to #AdvanceScience and #TransformTheFuture while seeing the next generation to develop and grow!

We did it—again! We stayed #3 in Materials Science & Engineering Undergraduate Education in the country!

Students, faculty, staff, postdocs, staff scientists, alumni, parents, family — everyone: thank you!

2025 highlight: The #Jean_Marie_Lehn_Award by #Poly_Char devoted to polymer characterization/science. A beautiful award, scientifically and the award itself—a mini #SaintGéran, the boat launched in 1736 by the French East India Company, handed over by US_Amassador #Henry_Jardine

We were delighted to host amazing #MaterialsEducators from across the country here at GaTech for the North American Materials Education Symposium ! With a visit to the spectacular #CenterForPuppetryArts with all conference attendees. Big thanks to #MaryLynnRealff and #HimaniSharma .

We have received some fantastic nominations for the 2025 Journal of Materials Chemistry Lectureship award so far ✨
Remember to send your nominations by 5 June to be considered for this prestigious award!

On 24 March 1882, German physician and Nobel Prize laureate Robert Koch announced the discovery of the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB) - a date marked by #WorldTBDay today.

Congrats #Quyen_Nguyen!!

Calvin and Hobbes take on the Big Bang with a new name: The Horrendous Space Kablooie! 🌌💥 #CalvinAndHobbes #ScienceWithATwist #BillWatterson

Agreed!

🚨 HUGE news from Canada's tricouncils who are harmonizing their scholarship & fellowship programs, upping the total number (huzzah!), and critically, allowing foreigners to apply for doctoral and postdoc fellowships. Want to work with me? Get in touch! 🇨🇦🧪⚒️

Join us!
Big thanks to #GT_WomenInMaterials_Science to organize this beautiful event. I am looking forward to it!

Big congrats to #Shreya_Dwarakanath for the GT CoE #Outstanding_Young_Engineering_Award! It was wonderful to see you again! Last time it was, I think, during your PhD defense. What a fantastic ambassador have you become for the Georgia Tech School of Materials Science and Engineering. Thank you!!

Well, check how well that went in the UK !

More than sad! The last place to cut spending!

Indiana’s health and economy depends on U.S.-funded science When people ask me what city I’m from, I say I’m not from a city – I’m from a county!

Anne Carpenter writes about the science cuts: “this is like suddenly announcing that you will pay for doctors and nurses but not the hospital building they work in” for the LaPorte Herald Dispatch in IN 🌽

Kudos to @jpalfrey.bsky.social and the MacArthur Foundation for stepping up at this critical moment. Increasing foundation giving to fill the gap left by the broken promises and breached contracts of federal funding shows true leadership and compassion. #belovedcommunity
