Ended last week's Brazil trip at the astoundingly impressive CNPEM 's LNNano facilities & SIRIUS synchrotron. Seriously, if u don't know these 🇧🇷 national labs check them out. Thx to Juliana, Elisa & Marcos for hosting & for the wonderful discussions. New collabs coming!

Happy holidays, Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year from our group to yours (and friends & family too!). Wishing everyone rest, relaxation and rejuvenation to make 2024 the best yet! 🌲

We had the pleasure of hosting UBC President Dr. Benoit-Antoine Bacon(Benoit-Antoine Bacon) for a lab tour yesterday! His genuine enthusiasm for our #bioproducts research, crucial for a #sustainable future, was truly inspiring. Immense thanks to our outstanding researchers for their

Valentine's day group yoga. Fun to connect, unwind and celebrate ❤️ of research & working together as a team

Happening now! Research presentations & posters (& food!) For CHBE at UBC research day, at the NEST. Lots of smiling faces and fun science & excellent UBC BioProducts Institute turnout

Congrats to the winners from CHBE at UBC research day & especially our very own Alex (tied 1st place oral presentation & 1st place "people's choice") & kudzi Nyamayaro (1st place poster - postdoc category). It was a wonderful event & great to see everyone's hard work recognized

Join us on March 2nd for a Vancouver Institute Lecture Series event featuring Dr. Emily Cranston, who will present "#Nanotechnology from Nature for #Sustainable #Bioproducts: A Canadian Perspective." Since 1916, the Institute has been a hub for #community #engagement at University of British Columbia,

Very excited to be part of two (2!) of these supported clusters - Advancing Multifunctional Dental Biomaterials and Future Packaging Research Cluster led by Prof Manso AMDB Cluster & Pratap-Singh, respectively - thank you to our excellent leaders!

It was a month of PhD comprehensive exams/thesis proposal defenses & we now have 3 more doctoral candidates in the group! Congrats to Alex, Anderson Veiga & Tristan R. Liu for their hard work & exceptional performance in the oral exams. I'm proud of your progress & plans 🧪

Important changes and welcome increases to student scholarships and postdoctoral fellowships. Looks like Banting and Vanier are going away.

Vancouver sun & painting pottery with the group to unwind... Moments like this together are needed. Also - super impressed with everyone's creativity but please keep this as a hobby only!!

June is #Pride month! At UBC, we’re proud to celebrate 2SLGBTQIA+ students, faculty and staff. Explore the many Pride activities at our campuses, connect with your community, and reflect on what each of us can do to support 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion: bit.ly/3R8iSxo #UBCPride

Thank you UBC BioProducts Institute and Emily D. Cranston - Research Group for hosting me and for the stimulating discussions on #sustainability! 🦠🌱👩‍🔬

Great fun at #TAPPINano2024 with new & old friends + TAPPI Nano Students. Congrats to the student poster winners, & especially our Anderson Veiga who took home 2nd place. Also celebrated some birthdays in our group at dinner 🎂

Elizabeth was a phenomenal spokeswoman for research & training, our group & UBC, and the value of collaborative work at this Mitacs event. We love working with Plantee Bioplastic & it's great Elizabeth could share that part of her PhD journey.

Thanks for all you do, kudzi Nyamayaro #UBCNPAW!

Today Vancouver is crying (i.e. it's raining) because postdoc Megan Roberts has left us for exciting new career steps. We celebrated her immense contributions last week & while we can't wait to see what comes next, she will be deeply missed & never forgotten. Thank u Megan!
