We are excited to welcome @sumanlata007.bsky.social to our group! Suman has a Bachelor's from Indian Institute of Guwahati, a Master's in Chemistry from IIT Roorkee, and worked as an engineer at Carin Oil and Gas before joining UMN! She will be working on PFAS remediation while in the Haynes group!

We hope our #chemsky community has a restful holiday season!

@clh731.bsky.social kicking off our department’s biannual Strengthening Climate event yesterday! The topic was on Effective Strategies for Engaging Everyday Conflict led by Julie Showers!

Hey #chemsky, meet our new first year, Yu (Cheryl) Chen, who has a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Guangdong University and a master’s degree in chemical engineering from Northeastern University! Her thesis work will focus on developing silica nanoparticles for agriculture! #nanosky

S/o to our first follower (maybe our most important one)!

We are excited to be on Bluesky to share our science and outreach with the #chemsky and #nanosky communities! Follow for more updates!
