Rachel Weiss Clark

I officially joined the Kudisch Lab 1 year ago tomorrow. It has been such a privilege to play a part in the beginning of this lab. I have grown as both a scientist and a person more than I could've imagined! Here's to many more lab birthdays and scientific discoveries 🥂

Spectroscopy Barbie 💅

@dubose_jeff No more NCs for me! These samples are just Ir(ppy) for a student learning about Stern-Volmer quenching analysis 😊

@Rachel591 pretty much leaving poor NCs feeling like this :/

PL quenching in action!

@dubose_jeff PL quenching in a nutshell???

@Rachel591 someone stole your excitons 😱

Work-life balance today is canoeing in the morning, followed by an afternoon of ultrafast spectroscopy 😎

I have the sweetest friends 🥹

I got to visit my alma mater today and attend the last lecture of one of my favorite professors from undergrad before his retirement. Never underestimate the influence of a great educator!

I'm pleased to announce that I'm officially a PhD candidate in the Kudisch Lab! My academic journey has had many twists and turns, BUT I DID IT! I am so proud to be where I am today, and of the work that I have accomplished thus far - now it's time to keep on working!

Office work only this Saturday - which means I get to bring a buddy!

The votes are in: The grand prize winner for C&EN Chemistry in Pictures 2023 photo contest is Rachel Weiss Clark (@Rachel591) for her photo of a rhodamine-infused rose! cen.acs.org/synthesis/Chem… Submit your photos to our ongoing 2024 #CENChemPics contest at cenm.ag/chempicssubmit

It’s our last day of magnet time at the @NationalMagLab! It’s been a blast building this ultrafast spectrometer and getting one-of-a-kind datasets at 25 T on our photocatalyst samples. Hope to be back soon for sure!

I had a blast doing my first official research presentation for the Kudisch Lab today! Looking forward to sharing our results 😊

I’m a woman in #STEM — of course I carry 9 tubes in hand like this when I can’t find a tube rack 💁🏻‍♀️

Two of the most dominant bears in the river face off as first-time finalists in the #FatBearWeek finale! 128 Grazer is large & in charge, but is she beatable in the bracket? Can 32 Chunk's pudginess propel him to the prize? Vote at fatbearweek.org by 5PM AKT/9PM ET.

Where's Waldo - Mr. Clark edition! So very proud of my friends in the Music Ed department!

.@Rachel591’s graduate school research on luminescent materials put her in a position to crank up this classic science fair experiment up a notch. Read more about this #CENChemPics: fal.cn/3zWIe

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! @Rachel591, a graduate student in the @NienhausFSU lab, used rhodamine dye and ultraviolet light to create this stunning photo of a luminescent rose, pictured here in @cenmag. cen.acs.org/synthesis/Chem…

@NienhausFSU It was well worth the time and money spent on all the flowers, I'm obsessed with these photos!!!

Happiest day of the week! @Rachel591 is hitting it out of the park today! #FluorescenceFriday instagram.com/p/CuZrkf6uplj/…

Capillary action + fluorescent dyes #FluorescenceFriday
