BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.”

Just dropped a new video + blog post with @arielroset for RSC Applied Polymers, and we had a blast making it! 🧪✨ We went full infomercial mode to show off how these dynamic foams achieve next-level expansion & mechanical properties: tinyurl.com/balloondogfoams

Our latest collaboration with the @Gassensmith lab shows the value of taking porous materials in new directions, and the importance of creating new structures. Congrats to Yalini (@yaliniwijesund2), Niyati (@NiyatiA30), Ryanne (@RyanneEhrman) and everyone!

It's almost poetic that I get to share this work on the day of my doctoral hooding — my fifth first-author paper is now out in @ACS_Infectious! Here, we report two new membrane protein tuberculosis antigens and explore their immunogenicity. Read here: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

As I begin this new chapter of my life at USF, I'd like to close out my previous with a big thank you to @Gassensmith lab for being such an integral part of my foundation as a (hopefully) future scientist!
Special thank you's to my amazing mentors @Snekumari and @TSHowlett! ❤️

Now that the celebrations are over and I finally have time to make this post, I am happy to announce that I defended last Tuesday and have a fancy schmancy PhD to show for it! I can't believe my 3.5 years in Dallas zoomed by so fast and it's already time for the next adventure.

My PhD final defense is on Tuesday, 18 June, 11 am CST! For those in UT Dallas, the venue is SLC 2.304. If anyone would like to attend online, please DM me and I'll be happy to share the link :)

Really interesting paper in Nature Immunology today (Broquet et al.)
They found that people who recover from sepsis have a reduced cancer risk in the years that follow (vs. matched people with non-septic infections):
This was recapitulated in a controlled setting in mice - mice that recover from sepsis suppress tumours better than uninfected mice:
The mechanism depends on immune reprogramming in sepsis: macrophages trained during sepsis recruit and establish tissue-resident T cells, which go on to perform long-term cancer surveillance
There's a lot more detail in the paper: nature.com/articles/s41590-0…

Didn't notice until today, but my paper made it to @ChemicalScience's "Most Popular 2023 Materials Chemistry Articles"! Check out the collection: pubs.rsc.org/en/journals/art…
My second first-author paper is now out in @ChemicalScience and is finally live! In this work, we explore the dose-dependent biosafety of ZIF-8 for intranasal delivery. We also took cool SEM images of cilia (see below). Full paper link: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

@UTDallasChemBio showing up at ACS DFW Meeting-in-Miniature 2024! Extra fun because it's my last conference as a PhD student, and I get to enjoy it with all my friends. :)

New paper out today in @CommsMaterials: my thoughts on reproducibility in academic drug delivery research on MOFs, and how differing lab practices (and under-reporting of experimental data) are holding us back.

New cover drop! @Gassensmith's artistic vision made it to the front page of @ACSChemRev's latest issue, the perfect accoutrement to our latest review (written with my favourite writing buddies @yaliniwijesund2 @TSHowlett). Full paper link here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
