Thank you, Dr. Blenner! I am so honored and happy to report that I received the NSF GRFP award this cycle. Huge shoutout to my mentors at the @kunjapur Lab; they have helped me grow so much during my undergrad at @UDChBE, and I wouldn't be where I am at without them
If you're up - #NSFGRFP winners are posted. Congrats to the 5 @UDChBE recipients, including Spencer Grissom from @BlennerLab, Amanda Forti from @kunjapur Lab, and undergrads @WowThatBurns, Sean Wirt, Nick Samulewicz.

As an admitted student at a UD event 2 years ago, an upperclassmen read my resume and immediately inquired, "So... what's up with the nerve agents?" Fast forward to now, you can read my profile - 3 years in the making. credit: UD Career Center https://t.co/UPempJ9BDm
