Day 1 of Center for Plastics Innovation (CPI) retreat! Awesome talks and poster presentations, community building, and engagement with our scientific advisory board! Looking forward to Day 2!

This week, the CPI #community gathered at Univ. of Delaware for our annual retreat to reflect on the first few years of #plastics #innovation and plan our path forward. Thank you to all of our members, affiliates, and advisors who make this event and this center possible💚

🎉Congrats to Jignesh Mahajan for getting into the 2023 American Chemical Society Green Chemistry and Sustainable Energy Summer School! American Chemical Society ACS Green Chemistry Institute Korley Research Group

A warm welcome to our 2023 CHARM REU students representing 12 institutions and 6 disciplines! Looking forward to a great summer of materials research! Univ. of Delaware #UDel #Hengineers

Congrats, Melody!! 👏🏻We wish you all the best at UMass Amherst

Don't miss Katie M. Herbert, Thomas H. Epps, III, LaShanda T. J. Korley et al.'s #ChemSciHOT🔥 review 😍⬇ Circularity in polymers: addressing performance and sustainability challenges using dynamic covalent chemistries 🔗 doi.org/10.1039/D3SC00… 📌 Univ. of Delaware

The ACS Summer School students are enjoying their day off exploring the greater Golden, CO area and getting to know each other better. The connections students form at the Summer School are just as important as the content, as many alumni have attested to! #greenchemistry

📣 WE ARE HIRING! 📣 Are you excited about polymers and sustainability? Do you want to explore interdisciplinary routes towards a circular economy for plastics? Then come join the CPI team! #phdjobs #polymer #chemjobs For job details and to apply: tinyurl.com/udcpi
