Research paper #2 from our group just dropped as Open Access in Adv Materials. In this paper, we probe pendant length in frontal polymerization and the resulting material properties. @KA_Stew absolutely crushed this one, check it out! @JacobJLessard1

A little teaser (preprint) of next things to come from postdoc work at Utah in @LessardLab. Wish us safe travels as we navigate peer review.

Our first paper on controlling molecular weight in Frontal Polymerization is live as Hot Paper in Angew. Chem. Check is out! @KA_Stew @JacobJLessard1 @angew_chem

Happy to share the first published work from my PhD!

When I started 3D printing thermosets in my first year, I was immediately frustrated with the process. Resins took ages to prepare AND didn't last long.

@JacobJLessard1 and I cooked up this technique to solve the first ect it to solve both!

Was great to be part of this cool project lead by @pranavkrn and Nancy Sottos. In this work we use Grubbs' 3rd gen to modify resins for direct ink writing with FROMP. @Mechanophore @BeckmanIllinois @MacroJrnls_ACS

I had a blast seeing everyone and giving a talk at UNH! Thanks for letting me share my science.

We have a new paper out in AnalyticalChemistry (@an_chem)! Detection of Inverse Stable Isotopic Labeling in Untargeted Metabolomic Data. doi.org/10.1021/acs.an…
Congrats @TashiLieb and Ethan Murdock.

Super stoked to have been a small part of this super cool paper on FP patterning just published in @Nature. Huge congrats to the team and especially Justine for exceptional work!
