Friday happy hour with CWRU Engineering CWRU art|sci new (and not so new) faculty - It's great working at Case Western Reserve! The Jolly Scholar Christine Duval Julie Renner Abhinendra Singh Umut A. Gurkan @burcuegurkan Bryan Schmidt Divita Mathur (her-she) Metin Karayilan Lydia Kisley Robert Warburton Sveta Morozova

Looking forward to an exciting talk from Paul Janmey, Prof. of Physiology at Penn, entitled "Polymer physics of metabolically intact isolated nuclei." White Building, Rm 411, 3:15 pm. Hosted by Gary Wnek

It was great to be invited to contribute to the 2022 JCP Emerging Investigators Special Collection.

What a nice day to get a new group photo! Look at all these superstars 🤩🤩Kathryn Wilcox, PhD and others,CWRU Macromolecular Science & Engineering

Our group member Kathryn Wilcox, PhD has helped organize an amazing 3 minute thesis pitch competition at Case Western Reserve! What a cool event to help bridge science and community though more effective communication.

Had such a great time at Air Force Research Lab - AFRL ! Thank you so much for the invitation. This mini reunion was a bonus too :). These people are doing some amazing things.

Interested in polyelectrolyte coacervates and polymer gels? Come see my #APSMarch2023 talk "K14:9: Effect of Polymer Gel Elasticity on Coacervate Phase Behavior" today at 4:36 PM - 4:48 PM in Room 206! @APSMeetings APS DPOLY

Congrats to M. Muthukumar for his new Cambridge University Press - Academic book on polyelectrolyte physics! doi.org/10.1017/978113… UMass Amherst College of Natural Sciences at UMass Amherst

Just out in ACS Applied Engineering Materials, led by Nathan McMullen "Enhancing Mechanical Properties of Poly(p-phenylene sulfide) by Biaxial Deformation Using Cross-Rolling and Subsequent Annealing" pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… A key point: ductility enhancement

So excited to partner with East Cleveland Public Library and Tri-C to reach out to adult learners about science, plotting, and materials!

Good news! We are reviving the VPPS for its 3rd installment in Aug 2023 with our sponsor APS DPOLY. VPPS will focus on the latest advancements in polymer physics w priority to ECRs who could not attend APS March due to visa/funding constraints. Submit your abstracts by July 15

Second morning invited talk by Prof. Morozova from Case Western Reserve . #MTSM

A big soft matter/polymer physics influence (Sveta Morozova, Vikram Jadhao) this morning. And yet, before lunch, we have a presentation on renormalization groups in cosmology, and right after we have one on supercritical CO2? I love this conference SO MUCH. #MTSM2023

It's a wrap to yet another scientifically stimulating workshop on Molecular Engineering of Soft Matter, Telluride, CO. Thank you to the all the outstanding speakers and the co-organizers. Until next time!

#MolecularEngineering #SoftMatter workshop Visit Telluride I enjoyed co-organising w/ Shikha Nangia & #HarmAntonKlok Wonderful, multidisciplinary discussions & talks. @EmrLab Yamil J. Colón Rodríguez Samanvaya Srivastava Diwakar Shukla whitney loo Sveta Morozova #TimLodge #Muthukumar et al.

#ImageOfTheWeek from the lab - very interesting images of collagen fibrils formed over time in some initial collaborative experiments w/Sveta Morozova's lab. I feel lucky when the first time a sample is put on the microscope & you see "something"! Led by Surajit and Kathryn

Thanks Sveta Morozova for the leadership of this impactful effort, and to a great group of @cwrumacro students with their energy and enthusiasm thedaily.case.edu/students-bring…
