🫖 Happy International Tea Day from the Prenni Lab!
Tea isn’t just a beverage—it’s a complex mix of bioactive compounds like polyphenols, which we can study using mass spectrometry. From green to black, each tea type can have a unique chemical composition shaped by how it’s processed!☕️

Happy National Periodic Table Day! 🧪🥦
At the Prenni Lab, we know the building blocks of food all trace back to the elements. From sodium to sulfur, chemistry is at the heart of what makes food fascinating—and worth studying.
Here’s to the tastiest table in science! 🍎⚛️
