✨ I attended @ComSciConSciWri last year and gained valuable experience! Hands-on reporting, mentorship, perspectives, and fellow writers connection!
Apply for it and see where this opportunity can lead you. DM me if you have any questions!
Are you a science researcher or medical student hoping to pursue a career in science communication? Or an early-stage science communicator looking to hone your craft?
Apply before July 31 (11:59 pm ET) here bit.ly/3RBpSRY.

I traveled back to my undergrad this past week to lead a workshop for current McNair interns on applying for the NSF-GRFP. I applied as an undergrad because of my participation in McNair, and it was great to be able to pass on insights learned to help future graduate students!

Congratulations to Warren Lab's third year Connor Slamowitz, @CahoonLabUNC Corban Murphy, and @atkinlab Alexis Harvey for placing !FIRST! in this year's Sciathon - a 48hr competition to develop a proposal to solve a global issue with chemistry!
Up first is TEAM 3, or Team nERG. They designed a waterfall wallpaper that absorbs excess moisture in homes and apartments! @corbanmurphey @Warren_Lab_UNC @atkinlab
Second year, Alexis, making the Atkin lab proud by being a part of the team with the winning product! Thank you @sciathon for the wonderful opportunity and the great experience!

7 yr ago I stood in front of the library (3rd pic) looking at this grass field, not knowing how the path would wind up but just feeling close to heart.
Blast. Absolutely zero idea of how life changed & how our paths crossed. 👉 People & environment are important for #gradschool!
Wonderful picnic with Atkin lab and friends! Including alumni @alexander_j_lin @by_chiungwei @etritch9 and the first graduate student graduated from the lab, Alyssa Vollaro! Great to have almost everyone gathered in Chapel Hill!

One of the Atkin lab's amazing alumna! Congratulations to @by_chiungwei for earning the opportunity through her awesome science communication skills 🎉🎉
It's one week of me taking summer leaves from my scientist role to science journalist through @AAASMassMedia!
Today one of my colleagues said his farewells which surprisingly made me a little teary💧
Can't wait for the 3month journey and what it will lead me to!

3 months working as a scientist in the corporate made me even more aware of accepting I don't know what I don't know.
I went from knowing nothing about working with samples and procedures, to where I can independently operate most microscope instruments + wrap up a report. (1)
We had a great time at the NC Science Expo demonstrating the wonders of light by polarizing corn syrup, disappearing glass beads, and creating a rainbow from nailpolish!
Thank you @ncscifest @moreheadplanet for hosting us! #NCSciFest2022
Congratulations to Alexis!! Also, shout out to group alumnus @alexander_j_lin for also receiving the NSF-GRFP this year!
Congratulations to #uncchemistry graduate students Alexis Harvey and Katelyn Kitzinger, recipients of the @NSFGRFP! The prestigious fellowships recognize outstanding graduate students who are pursuing research-based doctoral degrees. Read more at chem.unc.edu/?p=22867

Lately are all good vibes about #PhDone ❤️
Congrats near-field spectroscopy guru @etritch9 - my very first encounter @atkinlab wayyy back before I joined @uncchemistry at the prospect students visiting!
Hope I picture you & these precious nanowires accurately 🌈🪡
Congrats Chiung-Wei! Well-deserved and best of luck in the new position 🎉🎉
⭐ Personal-Professional news!
Coming 10 weeks I will be writing for @NCHealthNews! Plz send your tips, coffee, and maybe childcare service ⭐

We joined the #GREexit in Fall 2020. This year, we are happy to announce again that #uncchemistry will not require the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) as part of our admissions process in Fall 2021! @UNC_GradSchool
Our new paper with @CahoonLabUNC and NIST is out! Check out our investigation into electrostatic tip effects on SPM of nanostructure here: doi.org/10.1088/1361-6528/ab…
Welcome to all the #prospectivegraduatestudents at this weekend's virtual @uncchemistry visit! Check out our slack page if you're interested in optics, spectroscopy, nano, or solar!
