Pester Research Group

Not polymers, but maybe my most relevant work (with @ga_noh). In @MacroJrnls_ACS, we discuss stressors, symptoms, and suggestions to help yourself and others improve #mentalhealth. Let’s normalize open discussions and navigate academia and life together. doi.org/10.1021/acspol…

Why Mental Health Literacy Can Improve STEM (Sarah K. Schäfer and co-workers) @PesterGroup • onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…. In @angew_chem we hope to increase conversation btw. #STEM & #psychology to improve #mentalhealth in #academia and student well-being & retention for a healthier climate in #science. @udmseg @LeibnizWGL #LIR @AvHStiftung @UDengineering

Please participate and share our survey on #mentalhealth literacy for faculty in #STEM (with Prof. Sarah Schäfer at @tuBraunschweig). The survey is available for faculty in the US (bit.ly/4fyt4J9) and Germany (bit.ly/4fhccqH). @udmseg @UDengineering

September is suicide prevention month. Whether you're in #STEM or not, tell someone you love them today & keep an eye out for your colleagues & friends in need. Re-posting our article pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… (w/ @ga_noh & Andi Fu) - more to come soon! @ACSPublications

Excited to moderate this webinar and learn about work from @KlokLab and Chris Bates. Hope to see you there!

Happy to share our new @udmseg @UDelaware research group website - come check it out: sites.udel.edu/pester

@ERoumeli @acspmse Rational scalability. Congratulations on your well-deserved award @ERoumeli

Caption this…. 😂😂 I mean, it is a great honor indeed but this funny photo made it even more special.. @PesterGroup must have used #AI to appear THAT much taller than me….. @acspmse #ACSFall2024

Thank you for highlighting our work @AdvSciNews ! @PennStateChE @PSUEngineering @site_psu @psu_chemistry

Thrilled about our newest article on self-healing coatings in Adv. Funct. Mater. with @PlasticVogt and led by @PennStateChE undergrad Jake Capets: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad… @AdvSciNews @PSUEngineering @shcdean @WileyInResearch @psu_chemistry @PSUScience

Excited to have been awarded the 2024 Tosoh Award for Excellence in Polymer Science. Thank you @TosohBio for this recognition and for putting together a wonderful meeting! A great way to end my time @PennStateChE. Now off to @udmseg!

Excited to see our collaborative work on photoactive antibacterial coatings online in @ChemEurJ at sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thank you @AvHStiftung for awarding our proposal to compare #mentalhealth of #STEM students in the #USA & #Germany. With Prof. Sarah Schäfer (@tuBraunschweig) we will study how both countries may help their students navigate their respective #education systems in a #healthy way.

I am excited to announce that I will be joining the Materials Science and Engineering Department at the University of Delaware in the Fall of 2024! @UDelaware @udmseg
