ECRs in Polymer Physics Slack

Thank you to all who joined our APS March Meeting Primer Workshop!🌟 Your participation made it a huge success. Missed it or want to revisit the insights?📺 Check out the full recording here!➡️ youtube.com/watch?v=KB2DCD… @APS_DPOLY @APSMeetings @APSphysics #PolymerPhysics #APSMarch

Last year, the tshirt design below won the inaugural competition. @APS_DPOLY t-shirt design competition is back for the 2025 @APSphysics Global Physics Summit. All DPOLY members are welcome to submit designs by Jan 5th, 2025: forms.gle/9dy779UXuCaRoX…

Check out our new paper on unusual structure formation and dynamics exhibited by liquid crystals during phase separation. Great work by Yuma Morimitsu and Chris Browne, among others. @CBE_Penn @PennEngineers pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

The 2024 Ig Nobel Prize in Chemistry was a Polymer Physics article on active polymers 😲 @improbresearch

I was excited to read this @softmatter perspective by Heinrich Jaeger and colleagues @UChiPhysics --- and it didn't disappoint! Training physical matter to matter - now published in Soft Matter pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Community engagement post: What is your favorite review article on polymers that you've recently read?

Join us on Tuesday, August 6th, for the final session of the Special Condensate Colloquium Summer Series! 🌞🔬 This week's talks feature "Structure and Sequence in Charge-Driven Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation" by Sarah Perry (@perrys_lab) and Charles E. Sing (@SingLabUIUC).

Did you know that LAMMPS comes with a Graphical User Interface ? It's perfect for beginners. You can download precompiled versions here for Linux, MacOS, and Windows : download.lammps.org/testing/ Feel free to provide your feedback to the LAMMPS dev on matsci.org

Pleasant morning read in @MacroJrnls_ACS ACS Macro Lett on "Statistical Copolymerization-Induced Self-Assembly" - another cool use of Compositional Drift program by @TingXu_Berkeley to show how charged "solid" self-assemblies outperform block polymers 😍 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Reminder: Registrations due for Lorentz Center workshop "Breaking Barriers in Polymer Materials Design", lorentzcenter.nl/breaking-barri… on Aug 1st! The workshop will be on October 21-25, 2024 in Leiden and we still have a few spots open, particularly for early-career researchers!

It's been a long time coming but... ✅ Graduated with a PhD from an awesome advisor ✅ Obtained a job at a great company ✅ Excited to co-chair the Polymer Physics Gordon Research Seminar in ~1 day So excited for the future and to see some old faces that got me here! 🤩

Hey all of you #polyelectrolyte folks out there. Mark your calendar for the next International Symposium on Polyelectrolytes for July 2025 in Brazil! Also, if you're a young investigator, please consider applying for the inaugural Paul Dubin Award! isp25.com/isp2025/page/4…

Postdoc opening in 3D printing, starting in Oct/Nov. The candidate should have a PhD in material sci., civil, environmental or mech. eng. Experience in mineralization, biomass synthesis, and bacterial/algae growth is a plus. Pls send CV, letter of interest, 2 selected papers.

Got published and I'm first author! 😊

Friends, please consider nominating yourself or others to an @APSphysics committee. Clearly, APS needs some fresh blood. aps.org/about/news/202… The nomination deadline is July 1st. Please spread the word!

Outstanding defense by @KathrynGWilcox. Just beautiful work. I am sure @SvetaMoro is a proud mentor!

The wonderful @PolymerPhysics team
