As director of the new @gia_glyco, Lara Mahal wants to build connections among experts — as well as the wide range of researchers who may not realize the impact #glycomics could have on their work. #UAlberta @TIPS_SPIIE @glyconet_nce ualberta.ca/folio/2022/10/…

Pictured 2022 Gunning Lecturer Prof. Mischa Bonn, my students Shyam and Nathaniel, and our favorite biomolecule. Three days of wonderful talks and of excellent Zoom-free interactions. It was worth the wait. Thank you @BonnMischa ! @shyam_parshotam @ualbertachem

Impactful words by @CarolynBertozzi today on how diversity in her trainees enabled creativity, not playing by the rules, and ultimately the work that built the field of bioorthogonal chemistry. Diverse science leads to better science!

In addition, we’ll be holding a public lecture open to all that will be led by @ualbertaScience researcher Dr. Lara Mahal @glycocode on the alphabet of life…𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘨𝘢𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘥𝘦. Please visit our site to learn more and register today at glyco-alberta.ca/gia2022/ #gia2022

It's that season of year again..! Come join us and learn about how to apply for NSERC CGS-M. We are happy to be back in person this year. See info below.

Using tap water in an ultrasonic humidifier may be polluting your air, study shows, as new research by #UAlberta chemists finds that ultrasonic humidifiers release significant concentrations of particulate matter. bit.ly/3fCTXOs #Science

We are on the news! My team's paper on the impact of ultrasonic humidifier on indoor air quality has got some media attention. The cleanness of water used in the humidifier matters. Happy that our research can directly contribute to the knowledge of the general public!

New study by U of A chemists shows that it may be possible to synthesize an ultra-strong, ultra-light material three times stiffer than diamond: ualberta.ca/folio/2020/11/… #UAlberta #science
