Just out in @InorgChem, great teamwork by Hila and Shannon (recently "Dr. Heinrich") along with Maxx and two former undergrads, Daniel and Sydney, exploring the tunable properties of redox active carboranes for improved uranyl capture/release. Well done! https://t.co/Jpxq6RIDeE

Our annual holiday party with one notable absentee (yes, Gab is the Egg Nog bottle). Better than a zoom screen? 🤔 Cheers to an amazing bunch of students @UCSB_chemistry continuing on while their advisor is north in Calgary @UC_Chem. So proud of all of you!
