tolerance -> equity -> belonging Words from john a. powell's talk today. We started at the bare minimum of tolerance and we need to aim to instill a sense of belonging for all in our shared spaces... especially in academia! #StopAAPIHate

This week has been difficult for many of us. I tried to put my emotions into words, the best I can. I hope this resonates with you and that we can work together to create change. Thank you TIME for allowing me to use your platform. time.com/5948226/eric-n… #StopAsianHate

A once-in-a-century pandemic cannot be the only thing that slows mass shootings in this country. It’s time for leaders everywhere to listen to the American people when they say enough is enough.

Please watch, share, and join this in-depth conversation about the complex, often untold story of the Asian American community, the unique struggles we face, and how you can help #StopAsianHate. See the full-length documentary here: youtu.be/14WUuya94QE #TalkAsianHate The Try Guys / 2nd try

Had the men watching stepped in I believe it would’ve helped the woman a lot. We need to be the ones leading and doing something to help, not standing by or closing the door on someone. Let’s come together and help each other. #StopAsianHate

Excited to share my first review is out! We review new sustainable polymer design for integration into eco- and human-friendly electronics. Huge thanks to Helen Tran, Yangju Lin, Yu Zheng, and Zhenan Bao for their contributions, guidance, and support. doi.org/10.1002/advs.2…

Happy to see a project I first started working on during my rotation under the guidance of Helen Tran out in press!!

Please check out ⁦Yu Zheng⁩ recent work on “fully elastic” semiconductors. To fulfill the real-world demand on skin-inspired electronics, the mechanical reversibility and long-term cycling stability are highly desired yet hardly achieved. ⬇️ nature.com/articles/s4146…

Check out our recent work in collaboration with Zhiao Yu on designing nonfluorinated solvent for lithium metal batteries

What's next for semiconducting polymers - A special issue on SPs in JPS that collects 20 contributions from active researchers. It is worth reading:-) to keep updated with literature progress of SPs in one place. Thanks to all contributors. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/po…

I’m nominating Rachel Huang Rachel Z Huang for @ACSPOLY @ACSPMSE Graduate Student Award. She does awesome research on polymers for batteries, enjoys science outreach, and has been serving as President of Stanford Polymer Collective Stanford Polymer Collective since 2020. #POLYfam #PMSEfam

My work on understanding the impact of molecular design on the degradation behavior of degradable polymer semiconductors is out in J. Am. Chem. Soc. today! Thanks to all coauthors and Zhenan Bao for the support. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Had a wonderful time visiting Stanford University yesterday. Many thanks to Jerika Chiong and Stanford Polymer Collective for the invitation and organization. Was great to meet with students, talk science, and take in the beautiful scenery. I even had escargot for dinner (a first)!

Introducing the team! (pt. 4) (& Happy New Year 🥂🎉🎊) SPC Industry Chair Jerika (Jerika Chiong) is a Chemistry PhD student in BaoGroup. She works on developing degradable polymer semiconductors for transient electronics. Jerika loves to travel✈️and try new foods😋.

Thanks to Tesla for hosting the Stanford Polymer Collective yesterday! We all loved the tour of the factory and the career discussion with your polymer scientists!
