Especially for other new PIs, I want to acknowledge the many failures that preceded this success. This is perhaps embarrassing, but we had 11 rejections by NSF before this one was awarded! This quote by Tony Finau inspired me: "a winner is just a loser that kept on trying."

I'm excited to share that we recently got an NSF CAREER grant to study the fundamentals of polymer crystallization: I'm thrilled for the opportunity and super grateful to @PolymerPolymath for his work that formed the basis of the grant. Thank you @NSF!.

One of my former students, a @BYUChemE PhD grad, was laid off yesterday (not his fault). He is super smart, a hard worker, and good communicator. His latest work was in technical #SoftwareDevelopment. If you have a lead on an open job/postdoc, please send my way.

The final exam review in my colleague Matt Memmott's materials class was a bit more exciting than usual today.

Excited to share a new article with Jan Garcia and other UCSB folks on some mysteries of coarsening behavior we found. Jan found was that "dynamic asymmetry" in phase separation of polymers is intimately connected to the polymer composition. Check it out!

Great opportunity for Livingstone (2nd picture), one of our grad students in ChemE!.
The Ga Mantse also visited with Ghanaian students at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, to learn about their educational experience. He advised them to use what they had learned to help others.
