Recently I’ve gotten a lot of inbound from new grads asking for career advice, so I wrote down a list of things I wish I’d internalized sooner. The key thing: being precocious has an expiration date. Threading the note in its entirety:

We're inviting abstract submissions for our ACS Physical Chemical Division symposium at #ACSSpring2025 "Frontiers in Coherent Nonlinear Spectroscopy and Hyperspectral Microscopy"! Join me & my awesome co-organizers Knappenberger Group Xiong Group in San Diego (due 9/30): acs.org/meetings/acs-m…

The Journal of Chemical Physics published a short interview with me and the wonderful Marissa Weichman for the 2023 best paper award by an emerging investigator. Check it out!

You may be my future colleague!

Work-life balance in action 😁

New Call for Posters 📢 Students and postdocs, submit your posters at mqt2024.org to discuss fundamentals and applications of molecules and molecular materials for quantum science and technology in Chile. Deadline is October 25th. Travel awards will be offered.

A great honor to be featured at C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) in their Trailblazers edition showcasing #Latinx scientists. cen.acs.org/physical-chemi… Thanks to all the mentors in Mexico and the US throughout this journey.

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be starting as an Assistant Professor at Princeton in January 2025, in the Department of Chemistry and the Princeton Materials Institute! Princeton Materials Institute Princeton Chemistry 🥳

Yes, my friends, it is that time of year: the leaves begin to change colors, the temperature cools and the time-honored tradition of rooting for your favorite chonky bears at Katmai National Park begins.    Voting for #FatBearWeek starts today: fatbearweek.org

Congratulations to Princeton Materials Institute assistant professor Saien Xie who has been named a 2024 Packard Foundation Fellowship for Science and Engineering, intended for innovative, early-career scientists and engineers. #PackardFellows bit.ly/3NscQFt

I’m honored & thrilled to be part of the #PackardFellows class of 2024! 🔬🎉😭 With the help of the Packard Foundation's funding, I look forward to finding new ways to measure & control nonequilibrium energy flow for human use. CU Boulder 🦬 CU Boulder Chemistry packard.org/2024fellows

🚨 don't forget that APS contributed abstracts are due this week!🚨Come join us in Anaheim!!!

Not a bad office for a couple of grad students/postdocs to work out of, yes? A few members of the The Weichman Lab hard at work on a gorgeous fall afternoon.

How do you build a lab out of thin air? Princeton Chemistry professors Marissa Weichman, Jose Roque, and Alice Kunin talk about their experiences and what they wish they had known going in. Enjoy our first story of 2025 with these exceptional junior profs: bit.ly/4fJhwlX@

We are sure proud to announce that Princeton Chemistry’s Leslie Schoop and Marissa Weichman are among the scientists selected to receive prestigious #PECASE awards, announced by The White House this week! Congratulations to Leslie and Marissa. Story: bit.ly/40xfa5q
