A call to stand up and show support for the Bethesda Declaration, the NIH, and for federally funded science in general.
April 24 is the National Day of Remembrance of Man's Inhumanity to Man. It commemorates the Armenian Genocide, which took place 110 years ago. 1/2
RSC Applied Polymers / RSC Applied Interfaces Sustainable development goals collection Sustainable Development Goal 12: Responsible production and consumption Part of a series of collections highlighting how chemical scientists are working towards making the world a better place Gold Open Access
More exceptional articles have been added to our Sustainable Development Goals collections, demonstrating how scientists across the globe are working towards sustainability.
Check out the collection for SDG12: Responsible production and consumption, here: pubs.rsc.org/en/journals/...
We're hiring a postdoc to join our @berkeleylab.lbl.gov @molecularfoundry.lbl.gov plastics recycling team. Scope will include developing new reactions for selective functionalization of polyolefins, assessing properties and recyclability. phxc1b.rfer.us/LBLHM2EPD

I've been called worse I guess....
Hope to see you in Honolulu!
Abstracts are due by April 2nd. Submission link is here: pacifichem.org/scientific-p...
Interested in polymer #3Dprinting and beautiful tropical islands? Join us this December at Pacifichem for the "New Frontiers in Polymeric Materials and Methods for 3D Printing" symposium, organized by Chenfeng Ke (@chenfengke.bsky.social) , Tao Xie, Luke Connal (@lukeconnal.bsky.social), and myself!
We are in a biotech space race, cutting off basic science via slashing NIH and NSF funding robs the US of our competitive advantage: early innovation.
Check out Ariel and Rebecca's fun video about our group's recent paper on 3D printable, dynamic covalent foams! @rmjohnson.bsky.social
We report a new nickel based conductive MOF with amino functionalized macrocyclic linker that features metallic charge transport ⚡️The access to this article is free for the next 50 days!

When porous materials folks get together.. @ronsmaldone.bsky.social @runcevski.bsky.social @chemchen.bsky.social
REU programs are being cancelled for fear of not receiving funds and graduate admissions are being limited or completely halted. Hundreds of Americans are losing the opportunity to train as STEM professionals.
Just dropped a new video + blog post with Ariel for RSC Applied Polymers, and we had a blast making it! 🧪✨ We went full infomercial mode to show off how these dynamic foams achieve next-level expansion & mechanical properties: tinyurl.com/balloondogfoams
@ronsmaldone.bsky.social
This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.
Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”

Latest from the lab in @rscapplied.bsky.social! We 3D printed polymer foams with dynamic covalent crosslinkers allowing more control over strength and expansion compared to conventional crosslinkers - with enough print resolution to 3D print a cool balloon dog (and other stuff too I guess...)
Just out in Science Advances @science.org! Chemical recycling of plastics to monomer accelerated through oxy-functionalization remote from the bond undergoing cleavage. Polymer conformation plays dominant role. @molecularfoundry.bsky.social @berkeleylab.lbl.gov www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Thanks to @profdaveleigh.bsky.social for writing this tribute to Fraser #Chemsky
I appear to have chosen the perfect time to submit my first NIH proposal....
basically
It doesn’t snow often in TX and the snowmen in my neighborhood reflect this…
Using my first post here to say…I’m on my way… to better foams, sweet foams! 🎸 Our latest preprint showcases a Motley Crue of improved properties—enhanced expansion and mechanical strength in 3D-printed foams. Check it out: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

Me sitting next to Fraser with him typing something on his laptop sitting in front of him
Fraser wearing a Viking helmet and wielding an axe
Fraser smiling and giving two thumbs up
Fraser with his arms in the air and roaring in celebration when he found out he had hit 1,000 Twitter followers
I’ll miss gently berating him about how he could never organise files on his laptop and always had hundreds of files on his desktop. Fraser delivered my first chemistry lecture and the rest is history… I learned so much and owe him so much. RIP. chemistry.northwestern.edu/people/in-me... #Chemsky
So sad to hear about Fraser's passing yesterday. I met many great people in his group and from around the world who I still consider friends and collaborators today. A loss for sure, but his advocacy for science and the people in it will continue to inspire us all forever. We will miss you Fraser!
