So excited to see my first first-author publication of graduate school online! It was a real team effort!
We are thrilled to share our new paper out last week in @J_A_C_S! We describe polymer catalysts using a novel triphenylphosphine acrylamide monomer to facilitate Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings (1/4)

I'm thrilled to share that I will be starting my independent career @IUBChemistry in July! The Wentz lab will interface synthetic chemistry with materials science, while providing strategies to access new generations of molecular building blocks and macromolecular materials.

We are excited to share our new paper out in @J_A_C_S! We induce beta-sheet-like regions into an amphiphilic co-polymer using a bio-inspired di(phenylalanine) acrylamide monomer. We show that this material forms single-chain nanoparticles… 1/3 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

The final planning meeting before @sciathon is in the books! So excited to hold this year's virtual event in gather.town! Sign up tomorrow before registration closes: sciathon.web.unc.edu
The time spent studying figure design and learning @Illustrator during the lab shutdown last year really paid off! We are so proud of the labmates who worked hard to create this gorgeous cover 🧩🧪💚
