Congrats to CornellChemistry's very own Pete Wolczanski on election to the NAS!

I am so excited to announce that I will be joining the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering NC State University as an assistant professor in July 2025! I couldn’t have done it without the support of my mentors (@JodieLutkenhaus/Brett Fors) and my lab mates at TAMU/ForsGroup

Congratulations to A&S professors Steven Strogatz (mathematics) and Peter T. Wolczanski (CornellChemistry), elected this week to The National Academy of Sciences! National Academy of Sciences

🎉Congratulations to the 2024 ACS Macro Letters/Biomacromolecules/Macromolecules Young Investigator Award Winners: 🏅 Brett Fors, Cornell University (Brett Fors) 🏅 Sarah Perry, UMass Amherst (Sarah Perry (she/her)) Read their interviews here ➡ go.acs.org/9eb

I successfully defended my PhD thesis last week 🎓 I’m filled with gratitude for the past five years of growth with Brett Fors, THE ForsGroup, and all my amazing collaborators ⭐️ Looking forward to what’s ahead, starting my next chapter at DuPont!

Grateful, humbled, and excited to announce that PJM has been promoted to associate professor with tenure (effective July 1st)! This honor truly belongs to the PhD students, post-docs, undergraduates, and visiting scientists who have called our group home since 2018.🍾

On the surface, this looks like interesting chemistry! 😄 Awesome job Anna Ringuette and ForsGroup!

Check out our newest paper in Chemical Science ! 🎉🥳 Brandon and Will demonstrate the first (☝️❗️) example of combining cationic, anionic, and radical polymerization without any intermediate compatibilization steps! Congrats team 🫶 doi.org/10.1039/D4SC02…

What a journey this paper has been! So excited to see this work online finally! Huge congratulations to Brandon and Will! They did a great job putting all of this together

More sustainable: Brett Fors of CornellChemistry has created a bio-sourced polymer material that has crosslinked thermosets’ durability and malleability but can be easily recycled and degraded. nature Cornell Grad School news.cornell.edu/stories/2025/0…

Right now, ZERO % of car tires (& other plastics in their class) are recycled. But CornellChemistry researchers in Brett Fors lab have come up with a super-durable plastic made of bio-sourced material that can also be recycled and degrades in the environment. as.cornell.edu/news/durable-p…
