Super excited to share our work on making supramolecular nanofibers of metal complexes with precisely controlled and tunable lengths! Huge thanks to Charlotte for her help throughout the project and Brian Patrick for the beautiful crystal structure! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Congratulations Kyoungil Kyoungil Cho! Thanks for letting me be a small part of this one, super happy to see it published :)

Passed my candidacy exam today!!! Thought I would be wanting to chill but honestly getting past this milestone is making me more motivated to do research than before 🤣

#SupportOurScience in the media! From CBC British Columbia: Canadian post-grad students walk out, demanding increased federal funding for researchers cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

Disappointed I couldn't make it to the Support Our Science walkout, but seeing all the support on Twitter and elsewhere has really made me hopeful! With any luck, this will be the final push needed to really bring the desperate funding situation of researchers to public attention.

In amazement as we are currently watching @CarolynBertozzi giving her plenary lecture for the opening night of #CSC2023, incredible! 🙏

My undergraduate thesis work has been (finally) published, >4 years after I finished the project! This paper looks at how the structural integrity of plasmid DNA is affected by shear stresses during microfluidic processing. Check it out in Langmuir: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Congratulations to Huan Gao, a former visiting student, on the second paper from her time with our group! In this paper, she developed composite CNC/halloysite aerogels and investigated their water purification capabilities. Read it here DaltonTransactions: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Had a great week with everyone at #csc2024!! Thanks to my group members and everyone else I was fortunate enough to meet along the way :)

My first review paper is finally live! We dive into the world of transient (controllably degradable) devices to showcase the potential of (nano)cellulosic materials in improving material circularity and sustainability around the globe. Check it out here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

🎉 Congratulations to Lucas Andrew(Lucas Andrew), PhD candidate from Prof. Mark MacLachlan's research group, on winning the Wallenberg Wood Science Center’s Young Researcher #Award! Lucas’s research focuses on optimizing #cellulose #nanocrystals #CNC to create #sustainable
