🌡 Captivated by the opportunity to make something new, come up with the recipe. Thanks to Arlington Public Library for having Robin Macaluso and the lab members for a STEM panel for teens at the Downtown Branch today. #MaverickScience x UTA Chemistry & Biochemistry

My lab has multiple openings for PhD students, please check BNL website for more information

#REIA Weekly Newsletter lnkd.in/ejQ3cvUA] As communicated earlier, REIA is co-organizing a rare earth technical summit on 20 April 2023 in partnership with Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) and Colorado School of Mines

What a fun group meeting. Love students presenting their work and collaborating. Thank you Robin Macaluso Dave Hilton Melissa Orr Mel Anderson Moisés Bravo mor4267. Pretty flowers on campus too!

Had so much fun Oak Ridge Lab Spallation Neutron Source. Can’t decide which beamline is my favorite - POWGEN or VULCAN?

Our 3 part series this week on Beijing's evolving rare earths strategy. 1st up: China's running short on RE raw materials & increasingly relies on imports. “The security of raw materials for China’s huge indus. system is worrying,” says a Chinese academic: qz.com/china-rare-ear…

The Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) will convene a Rare Earth Summit on April 20, 2023 of national and international experts to discuss technologies and policies to secure the supply chain of rare earth elements (REEs). Registration is open.

Extra special when labmates win together. An experimentalist and theorist duo! #utascience #utachemistry

Had a meeting today with a new contact…in a round about way I was seeking career advice. Their reply, “I don’t give advice, I tell stories. I’ll tell you mine and let you pick out the useful bits.” It was a darn good story and best career “advice” yet.

I'm excited to sharing our recent IC paper on Enhancing the Selectivity of Trivalent Actinide over Lanthanide Using Asymmetrical Phenanthroline Diamide Ligands | Inorganic Chemistry Inorganic Chemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

REEs are magnetic, attracting attention from every advanced technological sector and the 21st century REE rush, like the gold rush of the 19th century, is poised to press the American advantage and secure the national interest. If you’re not investing in REEs, it’s not too late!

Interesting read on naturalized metaphysics: can science inform metaphysics & to what extent could it and should it do so?
