Has anyone's university started preventing PIs from spending grant money?.

Had a great time at ACSDenver2024. Four student posters, two moose, and gave a talk in a session with some excellent speakers! Inspired to continue our work in sustainable and bio-based polymers. #RacerFacultySuccess #ACSDenver.

Murray State University is hiring a tenure-track organic/polymer chemist! Please consider applying. MSU is a PUI (with MS program) with a vibrant undergraduate research program and is ACS certified. See additional details in link!.

Adhesive developed by the Miller lab at Murray State! We continue to work with HempWood to improve their interior products and develop new structural materials! Greener alternatives to traditional wood products. #RacerFacultySuccess #HempWood.

RT @MatsonLab_VT: Publication time!!.We're are delighted to share our recent publication in @JPolymSci in collaboration with @RacerPolyLab….

Excited to continue to be an integral part of the HempWood brand! A 5-year partnership so far!! More exciting products to come. #RacerFacultySuccess.

Group lunch to help celebrate the end of the academic year! Students are off to REU programs, study abroad adventures, NSF-funded research here at Murray State, or combinations of the above!

RT @MatsonLab_VT: Congrats to PhD #16, Dr. Abby Chinn! It was really a delight for us to have you over the years working on polysaccharides….

Had a great visit to Virginia Tech this week! Thanks @jbmatson for the invite and the time. It's always fun to be in Hokieland learning about all the cool research! Thanks also to soon-to-be PhD Abby Chinn, former Murray St Racers researcher, for being my hiking guide!

Latest conductive cellulose work from Liz Hays (now at Vanderbilt) and Gracie Eicher (now at UK) is out now in ACS Applied Polymer Materials! Collaboration with Dr. Salas de la Cruz @RutgersCamden. @murraystateuniv #RacerFacultySuccess #NSF #PUI

Running an undergraduate research group + chair of my department = mission impossible but challenge accepted.

Thoroughly enjoyed my trip to the University of Alabama this week. Thanks to Drs. Jason Bara @ProfBara and Katie O'Harra @KatieOHarra for their hospitality!! Looking forward to continuing our collaborative work on ionenes and 3D printing!!.

Latest publication from the Miller group is out! Making conductive polyurethanes without those nasty, toxic isocyanates! Congrats to Jordan and George on this project. Collaboration with Dr. Salas de la Cruz at Rutgers. #RacerFacultySuccess #PUI #NSF

RT @JPolymSci: New research in @JPolymSci: Poly(ethylene terephthalate)-polyethylene block copolymer architecture effects on interfacial ad….

Our newest collaborative work with the Ellison group and @UMN_CSP at UMinnesota! Congrats to former MSU undergrad Katey! . PET-PE block copolymers effects on interfacial adhesion and compatibilization in mixed plastic waste. #NSF #RacerFacultySuccess.

I think the chemistry profession, including the ACS, needs to realize that a lot of great undergraduate teaching and research happens at schools that are NOT private institutions with mega endowments and students who are already in a position to succeed.
