Prof. Stein would have been 100 this year—what a legacy! We’re all beneficiaries of his vision and energy in building the @UMassPSE program. Inspiring to hear him tell his story in this interview!
A most interesting interview with legendary @UMassPSE Prof Richard Stein https://t.co/tnncgWPaak Still remember his polymer p-chem lectures, no notes but lots of chalk

It’s time to say goodbye to our postdoc @MithunD37449093 from the Watkins Group. Mithun did a fantastic job in bottlebrush chemistry. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors from the Watkins Group and the PSE postdoc community. #postdocjobs @UMassPSE @UMassAmherst

👏 Exciting new discovery on polyzwitterions by M. Muthukumar and @UMassPSE grad student Yeseul Lee—now published in @NatureComms! Read more in the UMass News article 👉
umass.edu
The groundbreaking discovery involving the nature of polyzwitterions yields insights that have implications for medicine, drug delivery, screening and more.
#Neutral polyzwitterions, once thought unresponsive to electric fields, exhibit charge-like behavior due to non-uniform local dielectric environments, reshaping understanding of molecular transport in cells. @umassamherst @NatureComms

📣Congrats to Professor Steve Granick and Dr. Sun-Min Yu on this new discovery - recently published in @PNASNews! 🤩
Our cells can speak - even those that we once thought were silent. Nerve cells and heart cells are known to communicate using electricity, but #UMass researchers have now confirmed that epithelial cells can also talk to one another. https://t.co/tHz6lWb08R
