It's with profound sadness to announce the passing of Michel Fouré--a great mentor and friend. Here's a photo of us in 2015, when we were exploring lab-to-market transitions for our microporous polymer membranes, leading to the creation of

Saddened to hear of the passing of luminary scientist, Gabor Somorjai. With Gabor, @berkeleylab.lbl.gov has led the way in understanding materials through their surfaces, be that structure, dynamics, sorption, and transformations relevant to energy applications. He will be missed.

Celebrating Mike Baird’s graduation. PhD #6 ! They don’t have advisors hood PhD students during the Fall ceremony, so no regalia for me today, so I wore something festive
