Only 8 days left to nominate a stellar early-career molecular scientist for @cenmag.bsky.social's Talented 12. I'd love to see more folks from industry in our nominations pool. Link to the nomination form here: cen.acs.org/sections/nom... #chemsky #chemchat

WEBINAR ALERT! Mark your calendars for Thursday, January 21st at 2pm PDT to hear from members of OSU's Sustainable Food Packaging & Processing Lab about sustainable packaging! DM us for the Zoom link!

Don't miss your chance to nominate an early-career chemist for the Talented 12 Class of 2026. The deadline is January 20. Help recognize those making a difference in chemistry: cen.acs.org/sections/tal... #ChemPowered #CENT12 #chemsky 🧪

Finally made it to Buffalo and ready for #AAAR2025

My group's most recent work, looking at surfactant mixtures in aerosol droplets, is now online in Environmental Science & Technology pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

The American Chemical Society announced that the ACS Board of Directors has approved $2.5 million to be granted to graduate students who have been impacted by the termination or cancellation of their adviser’s research grant(s) cen.acs.org/acs-news/acs... #chemsky

Atmospheric chemist @alisonbain.bsky.social, an assistant professor at @oregonstate.edu and one of C&EN's Talented 12, will be speaking at the #CENT12 Symposium on Monday, August 18 in Washington, DC. RSVP here: connect.discoveracs.org/talented-12-... Read more: cen.acs.org/environment/...

Atmospheric chemist @alisonbain.bsky.social works as an assistant professor at @oregonstate.edu, where she measures aerosol particles to understand climate change. Read more: cen.acs.org/environment/... #CENT12 #chemsky 🧪

I have been included in this year's @cenmag.bsky.social Talented 12 #CENT12 cen.acs.org/environment/...

They’re here! Introducing the Talented 12 Class for 2025. These early-career scientists are taking on big global #chemistry challenges. Meet the 2025 Class: cen.acs.org/people/profi... #CENT12 #chemsky🧪

My team's first research paper is now online in Aerosol Science and Technology 'Surface tension predictions during hygroscopic growth and cloud droplet activation using a simple kinetic surfactant partitioning model' www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

My favorite day of the year might be the one snowy day we get in Corvallis, and bonus, they close the university so I can go outside and enjoy it.

Early-career atmospheric chemistry colleagues! Click on the link below to learn more about applying to attend the Atmospheric Chemistry Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) and the GRC that follows. www.grc.org/atmospheric-...

Our latest work, looking at the partitioning of ionic surfactants in aerosol droplets containing glutaric acid, sodium chloride, or sea salts egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...

Teaching spectroscopy this term means I get to spend time in the lab building demos. If the students don’t enjoy them at least I had fun.

My group is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to investigate the chemical and physical properties of candidate materials for solar radiation management. Candidates with a background in aerosol science and/or spectroscopy are encouraged to apply. www.bainaerosolresearch.com/join

I teach my analytical chemistry class how to use Python for data analysis. At the beginning of the term, a poll indicated that 75% of the class had never used Python before, now, just 10 weeks later, my students are submitting Python code to solve problems on assignments where it is not required. 🥰
