The best birthday gift is having your 1st first-author publication released! Check it out to learn more about peptide self-assembly!
Check out our latest publication in #Macromolecular #Bioscience examining factors that influence the self-assembly of peptide nanocarriers. Congrats to coauthors @pitz_megan, @AlexNukovic, and @ElpersMaggie.

That’s my fiancé!! So proud 🥰❤️
Being a grad student is tough. One of the things that keeps me going is my end of semester comments from my students 🥲. Love them!!!!

You’ll absolutely catch me sitting on the floor to learn about Biomaterials for Women’s Health! Such a great session, and needs the biggest room next year!! @SFBiomaterials
STANDING ROOM ONLY for the #SFB2023 Biomaterials for Women's Health session. Amazing! We're going to need a way bigger room!!!

Clemson spotlighted my work and the work of other cancer researchers on campus on their homepage 🤗
Innovative work from @ClemsonCECAS provides ways to treat cancer by targeting the cancerous cells and genes more efficiently. Learn more about the cutting-edge science and targeted medicine to improve the lifespan and quality of life happening at #Clemson.

When someone tells me they don’t trust COVID vaccines bc they’re “rushed”, I use this analogy: If I order a dress and choose Next Day Delivery instead of Standard Delivery, the dress hasn’t suddenly diminished in quality. The process for it to get to me is what’s streamlined.

Not excited to begin teaching this semester with full capacity in-person classes in the middle of a pandemic and current surge of covid cases with no mask requirement. Clemson can and should do better. This is not ok.
