@UMassPSE
The Polymer Science & Engineering Department at UMass Amherst is one of the largest academic centers for polymer research in the world-and a terrific community!
👏 Exciting new discovery on polyzwitterions by M. Muthukumar and @UMassPSE grad student Yeseul Lee—now published in @NatureComms! Read more in the UMass News article 👉 shorturl.at/mZuq2
#Neutral polyzwitterions, once thought unresponsive to electric fields, exhibit charge-like behavior due to non-uniform local dielectric environments, reshaping understanding of molecular transport in cells. @umassamherst @NatureComms doi.org/g9g2fp…
Prof. Stein would have been 100 this year—what a legacy! We’re all beneficiaries of his vision and energy in building the @UMassPSE program. Inspiring to hear him tell his story in this interview!
A most interesting interview with legendary @UMassPSE Prof Richard Stein digital.sciencehistory.org/works/2mtsezf Still remember his polymer p-chem lectures, no notes but lots of chalk
It’s time to say goodbye to our postdoc @MithunD37449093 from the Watkins Group. Mithun did a fantastic job in bottlebrush chemistry. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors from the Watkins Group and the PSE postdoc community. #postdocjobs @UMassPSE @UMassAmherst
Big thank you to all who participated and came to our inaugural art show!! It was lovely seeing all the art work and getting to vote on refreshing Conte with new polymer research!

📣Congrats to Professor Steve Granick and Dr. Sun-Min Yu on this new discovery - recently published in @PNASNews! 🤩
Our cells can speak - even those that we once thought were silent. Nerve cells and heart cells are known to communicate using electricity, but #UMass researchers have now confirmed that epithelial cells can also talk to one another. bit.ly/42bvQA4 #health
📢New discovery! Steve Granick and Sun-Min Yu have found that epithelial cells, which line our skin and organs, communicate with each other using electrical signals! These @PNASNews findings could lead to advances in wearable sensors and wound healing. 🩹🌟shorturl.at/8xktT

A terrific day at @JuniataCollege for the Chemistry Department Centennial Celebration! (gave a talk titled "The Katrina Kratz (now Celanese), Zak Page (@zakpage) & Chris Cueto (now @HawkerNation) show"), all outstanding JC alums from my group @UMassPSE. juniata.edu/academics/chem…
I'm honored to be addressing the @UN on Tuesday, Feburary 11 for the International day of Women and Girls in Science. Join the conversation. Watch live on UNTV or reserve your spot in person here: bit.ly/unga-wis #WomenInScience #WomeninSTEM #WomeninScienceDay
Celebrating 5 years of innovation! 🎉 @UMass_ICorps celebrates 5 years of fostering entrepreneurial innovation, empowering researchers & students to transform groundbreaking ideas into market-ready ventures. #entrepreneur #leadership bit.ly/4aGTmrq
Saying goodbye to two exceptional researchers (Minglun Li and Kaikai Zheng) as they head to China to start their own labs as assistant professors! We had a great lunch with fellow postdocs to celebrate. Wishing them all the best on this exciting new chapter! @UMassPSE @CNS_UMass
Thanks for participating in the 2025 ASPIRE program and sharing these awesome photos @sahadipankr! It’s amazing to “celebrate 28 consecutive years of the ASPIRE program - engaging with enthusiastic students from across Western Mass,” as @gmgrason recently reminded us! Go PSE!! 🤗
Had an amazing time volunteering for the ASPIRE program in @UMassPSE ! This is my 2nd year, and it's always rewarding to teach and inspire high school students. Excited for more opportunities to engage with the next generation of scholars. @PostdocVoice @CNS_UMass
