Thrilled to share our foams paper has expanded into publication! 🎉 Even better—I got to coauthor this with @arielroset ! Our dynamic materials are rising to the occasion with exciting properties, and we can’t wait for you to check them out. Read it here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

So sad to hear about @sirfrasersays passing yesterday. I met many great people in his group and from around the world who I still consider friends and collaborators today. A loss for sure, but his advocacy for science and the people in it will continue to inspire us all forever.

I’m on my way… to better foams, sweet foams! 🎸 Our latest preprint showcases a Motley Crue of improved properties—enhanced expansion and mechanical strength in 3D-printed foams. Check it out: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi… @ronsmaldone @arielroset

This is @LynsClaire's undergraduate project, now out in preprint form. I can summarize our conclusions on which chitosan source is better for #3Dprinting composites as such:

Our latest collaboration with the @Gassensmith lab shows the value of taking porous materials in new directions, and the importance of creating new structures. Congrats to Yalini (@yaliniwijesund2), Niyati (@NiyatiA30), Ryanne (@RyanneEhrman) and everyone!
