DYK health care is one of the largest waste-producing sectors in the U.S.? @VTEngineering researchers aim to tackle this problem. They won a grant to develop biodegradable materials to eventually displace plastics used in health care facilities. ➡️vtx.vt.edu/articles/2023/…

GlycoMIP is searching for a talented postdoctoral associate with expertise in carbohydrate chemistry to work in the Virginia Tech GlycoMIP user facility. More information for the position can be found buff.ly/3Gl4yfe Review of applications will begin on April 19th.

Polymers are everywhere, and our #Hokies are taking a closer look. 🔬 In their final capstone before graduating, our chemistry seniors get real-life experience in the labs tackling the replication of original research articles in individual projects.

In February, nearly 90 participants joined us for our first-ever Polymer Sustainability Workshop to share their knowledge and expertise! Read the story here: vtx.vt.edu/articles/2023/…

Congrats to the winner of the 2023 PMSE Graduate Student Travel Award, Erin Crater of Virginia Tech. #ACSSpring2023 #Polymer #Award #Student @virginia_tech

#Hokies in @VT_Science have found a new way to upcycle styrofoam that supports the cosmetic, fragrance, and pharmaceutical industries by creating reaction conditions that transform these hard-to-recycle plastics into useful monomers. ♻️

Excited to be chairing the Gordon Research Conference on Adhesion this summer (23-28 July). We have an incredible line-up of invited speakers (below). The application is open now; poster submissions are encouraged from all! Please retweet to spread the word.

Did you know that electric vehicle battery cells can be as small as those in your watch? 🤔 @VT_Science #Hokies are researching electric vehicle batteries & their cycle life, low-temperature performance, & fast-charging capabilities to determine how to improve them. 🚗

A few of our members teamed up with ASU's POLY/PMSE chapter to do a short demonstration on packing peanuts, recycling, and sustainable polymer science. Check it out! youtu.be/t-SaetgxT1M #acspoly #acspmse #polymerdemoaward

Announcing a new REU Program @VTChemDept! Apply to work with @amorri28 @fenglinvt @SEE_adrian_figg @GregLiu_VT @santoslabVT @SchulzLabVT @ValerieWelborn @quan_lina and twitterless Lou Madsen and Diana Thornton!

Want to build community in an internship? Find out what Eva Ottum - who interned @PNNLab and is now a grad student @UCRiverside - had to say about our Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship. Applications are due Jan 10 for the summer term! science.osti.gov/wdts/suli

Had a ton of fun teaching folks about polymer gels at the Science Festival on Sat! Thanks to @ICATatVT and all the @VT_Science exhibitors for making the event a HUGE success

Looking for weekend plans? We found them. 😏 The #VirginiaTech Science Festival returns this Saturday! Guests of all ages can participate for free in hands-on activities, engaging demonstrations, and talk one-on-one with practicing scientists. 🧑‍🔬 fal.cn/3tsVl
