Younger kid was asking if I’d had classes that were curved and if I hated them. Told them I got an A in a #gradschool class where I scored 50% on the exams (#Organometallics taught by Wolczanski) and that it was my 2nd favorite class (after #Polymers by Coates).
They asked what I would score now. I estimated 30% without retaking the class and 70% if I did.
“Oh, so you’ve improved!”
Love that kid. #chemiverse #growthmindset #BrutalCurve

Great talk by Kevin Neumann at #IUPACCHAINS2023. He talked about his group's work on zitterionic polymers as coatings to prevent bacterial biofilms. Exciting chemistry of stable ylides to have a minimal distance between positive and negative charge. #Chemistry #ChemiVerse #Polymers #Antibiotics https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.202308971

ps: special thanks to the #GRC #Polymers community for being so loudly and beautifully queer that we decided to move forward with this after going back and forth about exact wording for months.

Why agri plastics are bigger threats than they appear to be
Just 1 kg of thin mulching sheets is enough to cover and contaminate as much as 700 square feet of agricultural land.

#postdoc opening at the Hsu lab at Virginia Tech - a wonderful group:
The project is the design of an advanced biodegradable menstrual product that aims to locally provide pain relief with antimicrobial properties. We are looking to immediately hire a postdoc, preferably with experience in #polymers , #biomaterials , #chemistry , engineering, etc. It is currently funded by the Commonwealth Health Research Board. More details can be found here:

Interesting work by Chen & Xu driving poly(valerolactone) to higher molecular weights yielding significant improvements in thermomechanical properties. They also achieve very high recovery of monomer via acid catalyzed depolymerization. I wish I knew rheology better to know if these properties will actually make PVL competitive with polyolefins.

Just sitting here feeling awe at the fact that the person who developed a commercial dynamic light scattering detector is still alive. DLS is key to the polymer topology arguments central to my work. I guess I could be doing osmometry. Anyway, some day I want to meet Philip Wyatt and thank him. #polymers #chemiverse #gratitude
