And here's a Q&A of the paper with @iampotassium.bsky.social www.washington.edu/news/2025/12...

This story is interesting for both the scientist and the figure skating parts of me: www.quantamagazine.org/why-is-ice-s...

What are MOFs, the materials behind this week's Nobel Prize in Chemistry? In my most recent story for @uwnews.uw.edu, @uwchemistry.bsky.social's Dianne Xiao and Douglas Reed talk all about the significance of these structures and how researchers use them. www.washington.edu/news/2025/10...

So much fun doing this Q&A about @uwbiology.bsky.social degrees in honor of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine yesterday. www.washington.edu/news/2025/10...

Had so much fun talking to @brandicossairt.bsky.social about what makes quantum dots shine for my recent @uwnews.uw.edu story: www.washington.edu/news/2025/09...

My latest story! It was such a pleasure to work with @drewharvell.bsky.social on this.

Sara Goering, philosophy @uwartsci.bsky.social, researches Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs. In this episode of "Ways of Knowing," she discusses discusses the ethical concerns surrounding BCIs. More: www.washington.edu/news/2025/06...

For Valentine’s Day, UW News asked 12 @uofwa.bsky.social researchers to share their love stories: What made them decide to pursue their career paths? 🧵 1/3 Their stories: bit.ly/4kcgPFt

For Valentine's Day, we asked 12 UW researchers about their love stories: How did they fall in love with their research? I am so proud of this @uwnews.bsky.social story, y'all. The researchers' stories are so great! 🥰 www.washington.edu/news/2025/02...

Holy moly. So thrilled & sincerely honored to learn that I’ve received a Presidential Early Career Award in Science & Engineering (PECASE). So thankful to my mentors, students, colleagues (and my wife!) who have supported me thru THICK & thin & made this possible. www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-up...

NYT continues its irresponsible normalizing of dangerous fringe ideas by mischaracterizing an analysis of fluoridation in other countries very different from the US (more on that in a sec) to suggest that fluoride harms people's brains. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/08/h...

To celebrate the first day of winter quarter, I talked with @alexprybutok.bsky.social, assistant teaching professor of ChemE, about her journey to becoming a teaching professor and her work to explain the context behind the science in her classes. Story: www.washington.edu/news/2025/01...

My latest story: UW materials science & engineering researchers + PNNL researchers looked at the individual atoms that make up the enamel of two human teeth. 🦷 www.washington.edu/news/2024/12...

Last month, I fell down an absolutely bizarre rabbit hole trying to figure out who was ripping off articles from Oregon journalists. What I found was identity theft, plagiarism and an absolutely terrifying future for local journalism led by AI scammers. My latest:

Such a fun video featuring the work of UW mechanical engineering professor Mo Malakooti and ME doctoral student Youngshang Han. Thanks Oregon Public Broadcasting! Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHYw...

The difference in scores for the top 5 women after the short program was unreal. 🤯

For my first post on this site, I'll share my recent Q&A with UW mechanical engineering professor Jie Xiao. She told me all about batteries and how academia can help support the growing domestic battery manufacturing industry. 🔋 Story: www.washington.edu/news/2024/11...
