How Science Happens

Find out how Soft Matter professionals got started, what they're doing now, and how they made science happen. A podcast by Doug Tree, Dj Seo, and Wally Paxton.

[How Science Happens @HappenScience]

Hey All, Doug Tree (@TreeSoftMatter), DJ Seo (@DjseoI) and Wally Paxton (@wfpaxton) started a podcast for students interested in Soft Matter research. Join us as we talk with our friends and colleagues in Soft Matter about their different career paths and current research.

Ag-coated colloids show periodic motion waves like the Mexican waves in a football stadium (shown in the video). In a recent article, we (in collaboration with Hepeng Zhang) show that this is driven by a chemical reaction-diffusion process. See below for details and the link.

How did you overcome self-doubt as a scientist? Prof. Gabriel Montaño @NAU digs in and talks switching from BIO to CHEM, the beauty of microscopy @ASU, diversity in science, @NAU's ¡MIRA! center, and pH-effects on fluorescence in polyelectrolyte micelles. https://t.co/03BvCcvHVU

[Eric A. Appel @AppelGroup]

We have a postdoc position open in #ImmunoEngineering and translational #biomaterials science! If you have expertise in biomaterials and flow cytometry, and enjoy working in a creative, friendly and collegial environment, please apply today to join our team @StanfordMSE!

[Sardon´s Lab @SardonL]

We are hiring. If you know somebody interested in doing a postdoct in the field of catalysis development for chemical recycling of plastics in @POLYMAT_BERC and @upvehu please contact me

[Wally Paxton @wfpaxton]

I probably won't read the paper. That title got me sharing it tho!

[How Science Happens @HappenScience]

HSH: Biomimetic Adhesion with Noshir Pesika. Noshir talks about his work at @TulaneCBE creating gecko-inspired materials with incredible properties and the path that led there. Check it out at: https://t.co/EQh5XBimmV, and let us know what you think in the comments or a DM.

[Self-Organizing Soft Matter Lab @Voets_lab]

We have exciting research opportunities in our lab! Check out our positions! Deadline May 1st.

[Danielle J. Mai @daniellejmai]

We are excited to share that there will be prizes for the top 3 student presenters in this session, which is generously sponsored by @formlabs! If you are a graduate student who submitted an abstract to any of the following sessions, consider asking your advisor to nominate you!

Polarization-Based Encryption - Wally, Doug, and DJ chat with Bryan Kaehr, about his path to @SandiaLabs and his work writing and encoding information in liquid crystalline materials using lasers. Check it out at https://t.co/79k7e5R7Kl.

[BYU Physics and Astronomy @BYU_PhysAstro]

A major emphasis at @BYU is to create "inspiring learning" experiences for our students, often through high-intensity mentored research projects. Department chair @KentLGee shares his hard-earned wisdom on that topic here.
