Just noting that Kamala Harris's mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a terrific scientist. Grad school at 19, PhD Berkeley at 25 in 1964! Here, she is first and corresponding author on an excellent and highly cited PNAS based on an NIH grant with her as PI. jstor.org/stable/44171

Yesterday, a student referred to a reference as "that paper from the 1900's". I thought he was talking about a seminal paper from the 40's. He was talking about a paper from 1995.

Cyclic ketene acetals (CKAs) are unique monomers for radical ring-opening polymerization (rROP) to generate #degradable #polymers. In a recent @J_A_C_S paper, we reported sugar-based CKAs for quantitative and regio-/stereo-selective rROP. @ChemistryBC #glycotime

Our 1st 🌱 cements paper is here 🥳 We show how #algae hinders #cement hydration & shed light on the mechanisms at play. These insights are critical for optimizing carbon-negative algal fillers to make low carbon footprint cement #SustainableConstruction pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021…

Not polymers, but maybe my most relevant work (with @ga_noh). In @MacroJrnls_ACS, we discuss stressors, symptoms, and suggestions to help yourself and others improve #mentalhealth. Let’s normalize open discussions and navigate academia and life together. doi.org/10.1021/acspolymersa…
