Autumn is made of materials:
🧶 Wool’s tangled fibers holding warmth.
🍁 Leaves giving way as brittle cellulose shatters.
🕯️ Wax, melting and vaporizing, feeding a quiet flame.
Every cozy ritual is just science in disguise.

Walking through campus during construction is like a live experiment: Concrete curing, steel welding… and me showing up 15 mins late to class because the sidewalk vanished 🫠

We asked students to guess what MSE stands for, and the responses were 🔥
But here’s the real answer: MSE = Materials Science and Engineering — the scientific field centered on the structures, properties, and categories of materials. #MSE

Labubu showdown 🔬 MSE 2021 students ran FTIR on real vs fake. Verdict: not much difference 👀 #MaterialScience #RealVsFake
