Just a couple of quick shots from today's Hooding Celebration - such an incredible day!

In this #EdSugg, researchers Princeton Chemistry describe conditions under which seeded polymorphic self-assembly is dynamically stable and identify a nonequilibrium phase transition that fundamentally limits the number of unique polymorphs that can be encoded go.aps.org/45mQpvo

What a perfect day for Commencement. Congratulations to the Great Class of 2025 and especially to our chemistry concentrators!

“Remember that one of the greatest services to humanity that you all can engage in is to be kind:” – Erik Medina, Class of 2025 valedictorian and Princeton Chemistry major. Congratulations to Erik and all graduates who commenced their new lives today.

Earlier this week Princeton Chemistry conferred awards on chemistry majors in the Great Class of #Princeton25, including Rachel, Erik, and Chloe, who received highest academic honors. Congratulations to all. Story, list of awardees here: bit.ly/4mwL7E1
