Group lunch to help celebrate the end of the academic year! Students are off to REU programs, study abroad adventures, NSF-funded research here at Murray State, or combinations of the above!

Had a great visit to Virginia Tech this week! Thanks @jbmatson for the invite and the time. It's always fun to be in Hokieland learning about all the cool research! Thanks also to soon-to-be PhD Abby Chinn, former Murray St Racers researcher, for being my hiking guide!

Excited to be earn the Murray State Distinguished Researcher award. I can't thank the students, colleagues and friends that I've been able to work with over the years. Hopefully we can keep this little PUI research thing going!

Racer undergrads giving great talks at #ACSSpring2023! Well done Liz, George and Pierson in the #ACSPoly undergrad session! We picked up a former MSU/Miller alumnus/VT Hokie grad student (Abby Chinn) to join our adventures. The "old PI" also gave a talk! #NSF #RacerFacultySuccess

Happy to be back in my hometown of Indianapolis for #ACSSpring2023 . I'm not sure I ever imagined growing up I'd be doing this professor thing but here I am. Not sure about doing this in March though??

Ending Polymer Chemistry with student literature presentations. Some really excellent topics this time around! The lab course should be equally exciting in the spring!

MSU Racer undergrads had a great time presenting their research and meeting up with our friends from Rutgers-Camden at SERMACS2022 in Puerto Rico. The views were good too I guess!

So happy to have Abby Chinn, Miller Group alumnus and 4th year grad student at Virginia Tech, back on campus! Gave a great overview of her research and talked about grad school at VT. We are thrilled she found such a great group @MatsonLab_VT! #RacerChemistry

Optimizing our electrospinning setup today! Our NSF undergrads from Rutgers and Murray State hoping to spin conductive cellulosic materials! #NSFRUI #PUIChemistry #RacerChemistry
Great day talking science as part of our NSF-RUI collaborative grant on functionalized cellulose. Happy to host @salas_scientist and his team! Rutgers-Camden students will spend 2 weeks here at MSU learning synthetic skills. PUIs can do science too!! #NSFDMR #RacerFacultySuccess
Small victories. Opened up March's Advanced Organic Chemistry (10th ed), the "bible" for o-chemists, and low and behold...ref 984. I guess we officially made a difference!?
Making alginate slime with K-5 students on spring break with the #MurrayStateAdvance program. The kiddos really enjoyed the slime, rainbow test tubes, and mini elephants toothpaste experiments!! #NSFAdvance

Three PI talks, one undergrad talk and two undergrad posters across three divisions from our PUI team at Murray State at Spring ACS. Go big or go home as they say! Go Racers! #ACSSpring2022 #ACSPOLY #ACSPMSE #ACSCELL #RacerFacultySuccess

First flight in three years, first in-person presentation in three years, first of a lot of things in years. Looking forward to talking and learning some science! #ACSSanDiego2022

Some melt condensation polymerization of PBT going on today in our undergrad polymer/mat science lab!
High vacuum distillation, column chromatography, total synthesis...what more could you ask for out of your PUI lab? #NSFRUI #Racerchemistry

Excited for our first solo cover art in @JPolymSci!! Featuring work with recent grad Katie Lindenmeyer - using thiol-yne photopolymerization to make flexible, conductive films.
