Triple threat! Huge congrats to our amazing second year graduate students! Morgan Young and Anna Ringuette for being awarded the #NSFGRFP and Julianna Koehl for receiving honorable mention! #TriplesIsBest

Only TWO more days until EYH! Thank you to all of our sponsors, especially our platinum sponsors: Cornell Center for Bright Beams, the Cornell Center for Materials Research, and Corning Incorporated. We appreciate your support!

Today was the 2023 Expanding Your Horizons at Cornell STEM conference for 7th-9th graders! Fors group members had a great time helping organize the conference, leading polymer chem workshops, and learning alongside their young scientists today! #ExpandYourHorizons

We had a blast electrifying chemistry today with the next generation of scientists at the 2023 Expanding Your Horizons at Cornell conference!⚡️🔌🔋

Walked over 10 miles today without ever leaving Barton Hall but it was worth it for another exciting and rewarding Expanding Your Horizons at Cornell

Yesterday was the annual Expanding Your Horizons at Cornell conference! Coates group members had an amazing time helping to organize the conference and helping young scientists find their passion! Thank you to Cheyenne Peltier for being an amazing conference chair!

holley grace hester makes a polyacetal! 😁 Congrats to her and Brooks Abel on this one! Coates Group Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Poly(Dioxolane): Enhancing the Mechanical Performance of a Chemically Recyclable Polymer pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

So excited to be able to share this work! 🎉🎉🎉 special thanks to my amazing undergrad for all the hard work!!! Dea Fackovic

The cap on my graduate work from the Chen group is online! We learned a lot from this project, for e.g. the relationship between PHA crystallinity and resulting mechanical properties. Thanks to all of my awesome coauthors! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… #biodegradable #PHA

Our amazing holley grace hester, our ultra high molecular weight polyacetal expert, defended yesterday! Congratulations Dr. Hester!!!

The one and only Cheyenne Peltier gave a tremendous defense yesterday! Congratulations Dr. Cheyenne Peltier!! Watch out NREL, she’s coming for ya!

Our group’s first ever PhD graduate, Mary Zick, is officially PhDone! Congratulations Mary on a fantastic 5 years in the group! Mary is off to do a postdoc at Purdue starting this fall! Keep an eye out for her on the job market in a few years!🥂🎉🎊🎈

Congrats to our newly minted PhDs ⁦Yiye Lu⁩ and ⁦Cheyenne Peltier⁩! ⁦🎉🍾⁦Coates Group⁩ CornellChemistry⁩

Thrilled to have my first first-author paper out in Angewandte Chemie! Was such a pleasure diving into this research area and learning from all my amazing coauthors, including our talented undergrad, Renee! 🤩 Cheyenne Peltier Coates Group Geoff Coates CornellChemistry Noonan Lab
