Delighted to be one of the 611 young scientists selected to participate in the 71st Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting!🎉 Looking forward to meeting bright minds! 🎊@lindaunobel #LiNO22 #compchem – at Palmdale, CA
Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings@lindaunobel23 Mar 2022
611 young scientists from 91 countries will participate in the 71st Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting! 🥳 We're excited to welcome them all to #LINO22 – and hopefully most of them to Lindau for the first on-site meeting since 2019. ow.ly/iGuP50Iq7hQ

🌟 Thrilled to share our latest study on protonated pentapeptides YGGFL & FGGYL! Under cryo-cooled conditions, we’ve uncovered unique fragmentation pathways and the critical role of intersystem crossing. Dive into the details! 🧬💡 #photochemistry | pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Predicting optical properties of molecular materials for next-generation optoelectronic devices is challenging. McCaslin et al. show how ground state orbital analysis can predict excited state charge transfer in donor-acceptor materials. @laura_mccaslin go.acs.org/7x0

Ground-State Orbital Analysis Predicts S1 Charge Transfer in Donor–Acceptor Materials

Abstract. Donor–acceptor (D–A) materials can exhibit a wide range of unique photophysical properties with applications in next-generation optoelectronics.

In every stage of my career I had a mentor. As a student. During my PhD. As post-doc & also now. Somehow I "found" the right person at the right time. It evolved into an amazing mentorship. I am forever grateful for all the advice they gave me & still do. Everyone needs a mentor.

BREAKING: 48K University of Calfornia TAs, postdocs & other student workers just walked off the job. It's the largest strike in the US since 2019. Many UC workers earn < $24k/yr. A PhD student I spoke to said they donate blood plasma to make ends meet. washingtonpost.com/business/…

In largest strike of 2022, California academic workers walk off job

En LINO22 el Nobel D. Shechtman realizó varios comentarios sensibles que ofendieron a participantes de diversas nacionalidades. El comité organizador se reunió con algunos de ellos, prometiendo tomar cartas en el asunto. Promovamos la ciencia sin fronteras. (2/2)

¿Se puede separar al autor de su obra? Diversas situaciones nos recuerdan que la investigación de calidad no necesariamente demuestra la calidad de una persona. Ciencia Sí apoya la diversidad cultural y resalta la importancia del respeto entre humanos, sin distinción. (1/2)
