For everyone who submits manuscripts to arxiv (or chemrxiv), curious why you decide to do it? I like the idea in principle but just submitting a paper usually takes me over an hour. Arxiv seems like yet another 'thing'. Is it really worth the additional time input?

Dodged a thunderstorm at Mt Holyoke and ready for the GRC on the Science of Adhesion!

For the first time ever, recorded atmospheric CO₂ has exceeded 430ppm! The last time CO₂ consistently reached today’s human-driven levels was ∼14 Million years ago, with shorter periods of similar levels around 3-5 Million years ago.

I’m very excited to finally share the results of a passion project that has been on my mind for nearly a decade. You can find the pre-print below, but what follows is the saga of how this project came to be:

🤩 I feel like I blinked and suddenly cryo slice and view SEM tomography could do.... this...! The last time I checked, FIB just burned all of our soft matter samples beyond recognition!!!
Towards community-driven visual proteomics! Excited to finally share this large-scale curated & annotated dataset of 1829 high-quality #cryoET tomograms of the little green alga that just keeps giving— Chlamydomonas! 🧪🧶🧬🌾🌊🌍

4 yo asked Santa for glitter pens and then asked him why the North Pole is melting. Might have taught kiddo a bit too much about climate change...

Thanksgiving crafts with the kids and I decided to make something to bring to work... Hoping these make it easier to explain different kinds of copolymers to students and visitors without a polymer background! Thanks @stache-lab.bsky.social for the idea!

Calling all polymer scientists! Let’s re-find each other as people continue to migrate over!
Please tag people in the comments and share! I’ll continue updating as we find more people. #polymers

Took my class on a field trip to North America's largest metals/glass/plastic materials recovery facility. Check out half a days worth of NYC recycling in this pile! Material can come in by truck or by barge. Amazing visit. Thanks to Princeton's ProCES program for the support!

Looks like a great opportunity (for 2025, the year is a typo per @rpslab.bsky.social !)
