We had a great alumni day @MerkleInstitute last week! Many thanks to Corinne Jud (@agroscope), @ahugumrah (@OfficialUoM), Matthieu Ayer (@swatch), and Gogol Guha (@multusmedia) for your great talks! (and also to everyone who helped organize)

No chains is on fire at #MACRO2024

@DerekKiebala @angew_chem Super cool work, glad to see it finally published! Congrats @DerekKiebala and team!

Call for Project funding Researchers can determine the nature and topic of their research project independently. Open to all disciplines. Submission deadline: 3 April 2024, 17:00 CEST sohub.io/ueg8

Come and spend summer 2024 with us @MerkleInstitute as part of the @NCCRbioinspired undergraduate #internship program! We have some great projects in #polymer science, #biophysics, #chemistry, #physics, and #biology. You can read about them here bit.ly/NCCR_URI_proje…

Looking for a summer #internship? Applications for our @NCCRbioinspired undergraduate program are now open. More details and how to sign up for this fabulous opportunity are right here: bit.ly/URI_2024 #science #research #education

Please share. I have a fully funded 3-year PhD studentship in my new lab @Chemistry_QMUL focussing on generating polymer-based artificial cells. They have importance in therapy, biotechnology, and producing approximations to understand biological phenomena qmul.ac.uk/spcs/chemistry…

@Bruns_Lab @Biomemtex @RifaieGrahamLab @javier_read Cool stuff, congrats to all!

The program of the 2024 Bioinspired Materials GRC @GordonConf has now been published, and registration is open: grc.org/bioinspired-ma… We have an exciting lineup of speakers, and if you're interested in bio-inspired materials I encourage you to join us!

@omar_rifaie @QMULSPCS Congrats Omar, well deserved!

I am very happy to announce that I will be joining @QMULSPCS as Lecturer (Assistant Professor) next month. My group will initially focus on smart polymer materials and the implementation of life-like features to ensembles of polymers and biomacromolecules. 1/3

Just out in the journal Advanced Functional Materials (@AdvSciNews): new article from @DerekKiebala, Robert Style, Dimitri Vanhecke, @CelineCalvino, @WederChristoph, and @StephenSchrettl on strain sensing in #polymers using mechanochromic inclusions onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad… #OA
