Had a search chair say to me at my first meeting of the day: “Remind me what you do again? You’re the [not my area of research] guy right?” Needless to say, I did not get the offer.

Jewel Changi Airport, Singapore If you ever get a chance to visit Singapore, this is in one of our airport terminals!

Thank you so much to C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) for this incredible honor - I really enjoyed listening to inspiring stories from all the incredible #CENT12 honorees. It was an event worth flying in for from Geneva to join this American Chemical Society Meeting in Denver (check out cutest apero cupcakes🧁!)

Wonder what the Cersonsky Lab has been up to since opening in January 2023? pubs.aip.org/aip/jcp/articl…

❄️ Meet our speakers for Swiss Snow Symposium 2025! ❄️ Prof. Nako Nakatsuka Nako Nakatsuka of EPFL’s CHEMINA leads groundbreaking work at the intersection of chemistry, engineering, and neuroscience, focusing on neurodegenerative disease treatments. Meet her at #sss25 !

Mapping the Lickability of the Periodic Table

It's long overdue for me to do a formal introduction on here. As I am now officially on the faculty job market, now is as good a time as any :) Hi everyone! My name is Jacob Schimelman, and I am excited to be pursuing an R1 TT position as my next career step. I started 1/n

So good

Happy to announce that I was awarded an Ambizione grant Swiss National Science Foundation ! I'll start a 'nano' group in Institute of Bioengineering-EPFL Institute of Bioengineering at EPFL. Funds include a PhD position! Many thanks to the Radenovic Lab, EPFL Research Office as well as many mentors and friends for all the support🙏!

I had a fantastic time discussing my favorite topics: aptamers, brain research, and academia with the awesome Svilen Georgiev when I spoke at the Max Planck Research School for Neurosciences in Göttingen. Please tune into our episode if you’re interested in some positive academia vibes!

To secure a 1-year extension beyond 65 at ETH Zurich, I had to change departments. ulp.ethz.ch/news/ulp-news/… #Academia #Leadership

Villars-sur-Ollon, Switzerland

Whew! Very stressed about funding. The balance of getting papers out, writing grants, re-writing grants, waiting 8 months to find out you need to revise and re-write more grants, and all the while doing the rest of the job and spending money to keep the lab running is a lot!

Making crappy polymers since 2014 😂
