If anyone is interested in a postdoc position studying the effect of electrolyte composition on electrochemical CO2 reduction in Liquid Sunlight Alliance, please send me an email with your CV with a subject line: "CO2R postdoc." We have some cool results to understand!

After 8 days on the road, I finally got to my new home, Los Angeles. It was the journey of a lifetime: 6 national parks, watching my first Rodeo, and a quick stop in Sacramento to pick up my partner. I am so excited for my new stage as a postdoctoral fellow at UCLA.

Let's talk about a beautiful community. I am so grateful to National Academies for this last opportunity to unite the vibrant, diverse community of #fordfellows. It was a bittersweet moment, but the seed of the fellowship mission will go on as I continue up the academic ranks.

Excited this work is out in Small, open access! doi.org/10.1002/smll.2…. Coordinating polymers disaggregate cobalt phthalocyanine and contribute to higher CO2RR activity. Great job @WillDeanPhD, Taylor L. Soucy, Kevin Enrique Rivera Cruz, Ph.D., Leila Filien, and Bradley Terry. Wiley Chemistry

Dear friends who write NSF GRFP rec letters, this year rec letters are due BEFORE the applications, so about 10 days earlier than normal on Oct. 11. Please don't let NSF's deadline change on rec letters screw over the applicants in your lives.

Tonight I found out that the NSF math postdoctoral fellowship I applied for is being deleted because it does not comply with Trump’s executive orders on DEI in the federal government. I’m going to answer some FAQs and share some thoughts about this ordeal in this thread 1/n

There is nothing like going home and serving as a mentor to the communities that supported me to be where I am today. I had the fantastic opportunity to give a seminar about my journey to UCLA Chem & Biochem at my middle/high school Escuela CIMATEC and the University of Puerto Rico. UPR Cayey

We had such a great time at the Southern California Organometallics Meeting! Strong representation from our group—Kathryn Woodburn (2nd year, Azurin subgroup) and Henry Teptarakulkarn (4th year, Rubredoxin subgroup) did an amazing job! #SCOM25
