One more with the killer title slide. You inspired a lot of students. Maybe some will make it out to @IslandCampus
I had a great time meeting with faculty and students of @BYU Chemistry representing @IslandCampus and a huge thanks to @wfpaxton for the invite. #chemistry #science

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: https://t.co/ccYfyJxzQc. 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.

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!

Using phase-field simulations, we investigate the bulk coarsening dynamics of ternary polymer solutions undergoing a glass transition for two models of phase se
