Want to explore the kinetics literature but don't feel like reading? Watch a recording of my virtual defense titled "Analysis of Steady-State and Transient Chemical Rates in Molecular Interconversion": https://t.co/olxIUnVs9O

Abstract below.

I am excited to share our recent paper titled “Clarifying mechanisms and kinetics of programmable catalysis”! Learn how dynamic catalysis works, it's prerequisites, and how Sabatier limits still exist during programmed catalysis!

I want to be @3blue1brown when I grow up. https://t.co/orOR9JyqHu

Check out our new ChemRxiv pre-publication on finding analytical solutions and reducing the calculation times for dynamic catalysis limit cycles to milliseconds! #DynamicCatalysis

Our latest work, by @Blake_Johnson39 and @DiIorioCatalyst, identifies and quantifies distinct sites in Hf-Beta zeolites using probe molecule adsorption, infrared spectroscopy, and detailed kinetics. Find it here: https://t.co/hvLc4iePaK

Now out, in Accounts of Materials Research, @Blake_Johnson39 and @DiIorioCatalyst review synthetic, spectroscopic, and kinetic methods to probe Lewis acid zeolite environments for liquid-phase catalysis! Find it here: https://t.co/SoNiMf16dm

@sallyegathmann Finally someone with the bravery to move onto Arabic letters instead of reusing a Greek letter for لth time

This has been a difficult day for all of us. Delgass will be sorely missed; he was a great adviser and mentor to me.

@DSBIC @pauldauenhauer I find writing unfavorable reviews to be much more work. Perhaps I just spend too much time actually trying to provide constructive feedback so the author can improve this and future works

A mentor’s love for their trainees can be measured in tracked changes

Check out our latest work in @PNASNews! We redress the "blind spots" of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood formalism and find some very surprising results - namely that a single elementary step can be both equilibrated and rate-determining! (yes, at the same time)

@mickeykats I would emphasize your point on talking to current AND FORMER students. The perspectives may be drastically different. The current student has never needed the profs help to find a job while the former student may not remember how grueling it was to work with a prof, for example.

Congratulations to PCC alumni, Jason Bates and Brandon Bukowski, for their collaborative effort on the effects of water and water-ethanol clusters on Bronsted acid catalyzed ethanol dehydration catalysis. https://t.co/NL8iCLljw8
