@QuyenUCSB @xtina @vinfutureprize #$@% how cool are you Quyen? First John Legend and now Christina Aguilera? I give up.

With the “Voice of Generation” - Christina Aguilera - after the VinFuture Prize Award Ceremony. Thank you @Xtina for joining us in Vietnam to celebrate “Science for Humanity” @xtina @vinfutureprize #Beautiful #AMillionDreams #Thevoicewithin #prize #vinfuture

@DrRachaelF It's called rain. It may be scary but it is actually a good thing.

@pauldauenhauer And that is a word from Tamil, the language of my forebears, just like mango, catamaran, and vetiver. Patchouli is an attempt at pattchai yellai which means green leaves.

@nanobrumberg @LettersPreSci Happy to shoot pics of you at the fume hood.

#chemtwitter Does anybody have a good photo of them (or someone) working at a fume hood that... isn't super stock photo-y? 😅 My @LettersPreSci pen-pal asked THREE times in his letter "do chemicals blow up" so I am giving him a small lesson on chemical safety 💥👩‍🔬

@DemirSelly @MizzouChem @WalenskyGroup @WEvans_Lab When do we see you at @UCSB ?

Second invited seminar was at @MizzouChem hosted by @WalenskyGroup. This was a fantastic time and special place for me, particularly because Justin and I know each other over a decade, and we were lab mates 🧑‍🔬👩‍🔬 in the @WEvans_Lab at UC Irvine. Thank you vey much for the invite!

We wrote a paper showing that biomolecular condensate phase diagrams can be measured by imaging water-in-oil emulsions, without direct handling of the dense biomolecular phase. We then used the method to measure various DNA nanostar phase diagrams. Short thread follows...

@mpifkf @LotschGroup *Bettina*

This week, our own Betinna @LotschGroup will deliver the Sheikh Saqr Materials Lecture at the 2022 International Winter School On Frontiers In Materials Science in India - a special annual lecture series supported by ICMS and RAK-CAM. Enjoy the experience, Betinna!

@pauldauenhauer Approve the Karl Popper.

@deniswirtz @BreadFurst Is there anyone else on academic Twitter with more gluten and carbs in their timeline? J'accuse et j'approve!

Back to paradise @BreadFurst

@CHHDellago Love this book.

@QuyenUCSB @NobelPrize @BanerjiNatalie @ucsantabarbara @UCSBengineering Great shoe game Quyen!

Catching up with my dear colleague Alan Heeger who will turn 87 in less than 2 months. He still exercises every day and goes ski often @NobelPrize @BanerjiNatalie @ucsantabarbara @UCSBengineering

Highlights of the dinner may have included a reading of the Philip Larkin poem, "This be the Verse".

Yuzki carried out some nice research on magnetocalorics and on kagome superconductors.

Goodbye dinner for Yuzki Oey (Emily Morgan accompanying) at the Montecito Inn, as she leaves the group with the fastest PhD (three years-and-a-quarter) for a job with Exponent in the Bay Area

@echemkim @MeganButala @UCSB_chemistry @Forbes Forgot totally that Margaret was you intern first ...

@MeganButala @XtlStruc @UCSB_chemistry @Forbes 💚💚This is so cool! I actually randomly ran into Margaret at DIA on Monday! She's doing great and is so, so impressive. Well-deserved recognition for her!!

Delighted to learn that former @UCSB_chemistry undergrad Margaret Lumley (interned with @MeganButala, PhD from Wisconsin) is a @Forbes 30 under 30 for 2023: forbes.com/profile/margar…

Also a poster author is another former undergrad (now in the same lab as Jess), @michaelbrady011

Proud of former undergrad @_andrewsjessi_ (interned here with @TightFives, currently a grad student at @USCChemistry with @brentmelot) for the best poster award at the Fall 2022 MRS.
