I know the Hudlicky essay recently published in Angewandte Chemie hurt many. I am resigning from their International Advisory Board effective immediately. Please see the full statement below from me and my colleagues across the chemical sciences.

We are hiring!!! Looking for a post-doc with background in organic synthesis and polymer synthesis for plastic chemical recycling. Please retweet or contact me if you have someone interested

Join our Team! We have new program funding for 2 postdocs in Chemical Circularity in Polymer Recycling and 3D Printing. #BlackInSTEM #WomenInSTEM #LGBTQIAInSTEM #chemjobber #chemtwitter Apply here: m.rfer.us/LBLiX13A8

When chemistry meets fall season 🧪🔬🍁🍂

Join our team! We are recruiting postdocs interested in using interfacial assemblies of polymers and nanoparticles to structure liquids, and from them make new all-liquid energy devices - patterned and 3D printed. Apply here: m.rfer.us/LBL3N23D4

Interested in #plasticupcycling ? Check out our last publication with Sardon´s Lab Dove Group on Selective chemical upcycling of mixed plastics, such as PET and BPA-PC, using organocatalysis. Congrats Coralie Jehanno for this excellent collaborative work ! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

we are hiring!!! In collaboration with Prof. Steven De Meester (Gent University) we look a motivated PhD student to work in the area of chemical recycling of plastics!!!

How do we make new plastics that are designed to be recyclable from the get-go, sustainable, and compete in the market? You can read about it in our Science Advances work: advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/15/e…

Join our Team! Postdoc opp to lead the design, synthesis, and testing of membranes and active materials for redox-flow batteries for grid storage. Collaborative basic science research with JCESR #BlackinSTEM #WomeninSTEM #LGBTinSTEM #DiversityinSTEM m.rfer.us/LBLdhD3mW

Just out in ACS Sustainable Journals, we show how to lower the carbon footprint and costs of next-gen circular plastics based on our PDK technology. Great collab, from process chem to systems analysis, with Corinne Scown Jeremy Demarteau Nemi Jay Keasling pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.102…

Berkeley Lab scientist Jeremy Demarteau is working hard to find sustainable ways to infinitely recycle plastics. Register for this month's Midday Science Cafe, Thurs., 4/21 @ 12p PT to hear more about his research. Helms Research Group Molecular Foundry Register! ⬇️ lbnl.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

We are now another step closer to plastics circularity with our recyclable PDKs, relevant in footwear, automotive and multi-layer packaging sectors. Thank you all for this outstanding collaborative work over the past years! Helms Research Group Berkeley Lab #circularity #plasticsrecycling

Can't get enough plastics research? Check out the ACS SC&E special issue on the circular economy of plastics, including a paper led by Nemi Jeremy Demarteau Helms Research Group and yours truly 😁 pubs.acs.org/page/ascecg/vi…

Just out in J. Am. Chem. Soc., we show that amine crosslinker design in PDK vitrimers permits exquisitely controlled deconstruction rates relevant to plastics recycling. Fantastic collab @alexepstein3 Jeremy Demarteau Kristin Persson DOE Office of Science funded pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Plastic waste is a problem - but our researchers have figured out a way to make plastics that are both biorenewable and infinitely recyclable. ♻️ #SustainableFuture #PollutionSolution Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) Molecular Foundry AdvancedLightSource @energy newscenter.lbl.gov/2023/07/27/mak…

Just out in ACS Central Science! We show how to avoid creep in PDK elastomers and rubbers via multivalent cross-linker design. Crosslinker also key to unlocking circularity. Eric Dailing Pawan Khanal Jeremy Demarteau @alexepstein3 Kristin Persson Persson Group pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Just out in Science Advances! We show that polymers that can be made to stretch during chemical recycling benefit from mechanochemical bond activation, returning reusable monomers faster, lowering the cost. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
