Second, just out in @Nature: biochemistry + structure + separations = showing for the first time how biology discriminates between light and heavy rare earths, using a new lanmodulin. @psu_chemistry @doescience @CMI_hub @NSF .

Just out @PNASNews, we characterize a new type of lanthanides-binding protein (a Ln chaperone) and engineer it for separations! Great work by Wyatt Larrinaga and Jonathan Jung, w/ my colleague Amie Boal! @psu_chemistry @PSUScience

Thrilled and humbled to be recognized along with these terrific scientists!! @psu_chemistry @PSUScience.

I am incredibly honored and it was a fantastic afternoon of science!.

Effective today, I am a full professor! Thank you to everyone ⁦@psu_chemistry⁩ and many other places who have made the last 8 years such a fun journey, and here’s to more fun and many exciting discoveries to come!

Congratulations to my student, Wyatt Larrinaga, and to the 5 other @PennState winners of an @NDSEG fellowship this year! @PSUScience @psu_chemistry .

And congratulations to my student, Wyatt Larrinaga, on his first first-author paper! @PSUScience @psu_chemistry.

Check out our collaboration with Gareth and Sandy Eaton and Brady Worrell @UofDenver - to the best of our knowledge the first systematic investigation of the EPR of lanthanide(III) ions (besides Gd3+) bound to complex chelators - out in @Chemistry!

Thank you to Mark Peplow and @cenmag for the very nice write-up of our @psu_chemistry / @Livermore_Lab team's recent @Nature paper about a dimerizing lanmodulin leading to improved rare earth element separations!

And thank you to @ProfScottBanta for the very nice writeup in his News and Views piece!

This was a huge effort by an amazing team: Joey Mattocks, with terrific crystallography by Jonathan Jung and Chi-Yun Lin w/ Amie Boal @psu_chemistry @BMB_PSU; Dan Park, Ziye Dong, Christina Kang-Yun @Livermore_Lab; and key work by Neela Yennawar, Emily Featherston, Tim Hamilton.
