Congrats to Andrew King and Drake Johnson on absolutely outstanding PhD theses. Excited for what the future holds for you both.

Check out the Zhukhovitskiy Group's newest review (led by the amazing PD Fu-Sheng Wang) in Trends in Chemistry on the subject of entanglements: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jIse9CpcYaQ…. We hope it will be a useful resource connecting polymer chemists and physicists working in this area. UNC-Chapel Hill Chemistry

Excited to share this discovery by Drake Johnson and team in the Zhukhovitskiy Group of "IrN5" rings! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10… Also, my personal first Organometallics paper! Crucial help from Andrew King and Fu-Sheng Wang! UNC-Chapel Hill Chemistry

What happens when you "pull" on bullvalene? Find out in our next bullvalene story, now out in J. Am. Chem. Soc. (pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…). We look at the thermomechanical consequences of fluxional shapeshifters in thermosets. Persistence and collaboration were key!
