It’s important to #FlattenTheCurve. - Slowing down the spread of the virus keeps healthcare systems from being overwhelmed. - Wash hands, wipe down surfaces, avoid crowds, practice “social distance” with compassion and kindness #coronavirus #COVID19 pic.x.com/RqR7FJIBVf

Sobering message from Dr. Emily Landon, Chief Infectious Disease Epidemiologist at the University of Chicago Medicine. nbcchicago.com/top-videos-hom…

You might have seen a “scientific study” that said chloroquine can cure #COVID19…and then another one that shows that it can’t. Wondering what’s up with this? Are scientists lying to us? Are they just confused? Usually not. It all has to do with how we do science. A thread.

Congrats to Surabhi Jha on being recognized as runner up to grand champion and to Toby Edwards for reaching round of 8 finalists in the Southern Miss Three Minute Thesis competition! All presentations from USM Polymer Science & Engineering students were great! Surabhi Jha @tobye55555

Very cool research by William Walker from Patton Lab featured on the cover of Polymer Chemistry Check it out!

Another milestone of my PhD complete. I can't believe I am finally doing it... One milestone at a time... Thanks Derek Patton Patton Lab and USM Polymer Science & Engineering for all your help and support along the way #itwasmyday

There's nothing like a Southern Miss sunset to end the week. Have a great weekend, Golden Eagles! #SMTTT

1/6) India is on fire. 7 people will die/min unless we set up hospital beds+oxygen. Sending concentrators is not sufficient. Hospital beds need that and more! So, #PoojaMalik, #NeerajGarg and I decided to set up onemorebreath.org. I will donate $20/re-tweet upto $100K

Gorgeous example of nucleation and spherulitic growth

Challenge accepted! Patton Lab let's do this!

That's interesting perspective as we start this week. It's also a beautiful image

The School of Polymer Science and Engineering USM Polymer Science & Engineering is looking forward to hosting @GTMSE5 Prof. Satish Kumar as our 2022 Covestro Distinguished Lecturer! Thanks to Karl Haider, Don Wardius, and Covestro for the outstanding support of this lecture series!

Finished my PhD candidacy exam last week. I couldn't have done it without the support of Patton Lab and USM Polymer Science & Engineering, especially Derek Patton for all the help and support over the last few years. Also a huge shout-out to my friends and family for always being there for me

Humbled and honoured to receive this award. Deeply grateful for my mentors and colleagues. Thanks to my family and friends for all their support

Check out some of the cool work in sustainable materials from Patton Lab and Qiang Research Group at USM Polymer Science & Engineering Jaylen Paul Smith

Get you a school director that dubs as a grill master! First SPSE tailgate of the football season. Derek Patton
