This summer has been incredibly productive thanks to the many hardworking students of the Rech Research Lab. It is crazy to see how big we've grown in just 2 years, and super excited to see what amazing thing come next!

[Jeromy Rech @J3ROMY_]

Huge congratulations to Adam for winning the grand prize in the undergraduate poster competition at the Appalachian Energy Summit!

The first meeting of #Scialog: Sustainable Minerals, Metals, and Materials comes to a close today with Fellows presenting proposals for collaborative cross-disciplinary projects. Thanks, good luck, and see you next year!

[Jeromy Rech @J3ROMY_]

I am very excited and honored to be a part of this cohort! I am looking forward to the many collaborations and unique ideas on sustainability that will be generated from this opportunity. Stay tuned for great research to come!!

[Research Corporation for Science Advancement @RCSA1]

More than 50 early career Fellows have been selected for the 1st meeting of a 3-year #Scialog initiative to spark advances in the mining, design, manufacture, and disposal of materials needed to achieve a more sustainable and low-carbon energy system. https://t.co/3EHX8uZaQh

Starting the new year off right with a brand new rotovap system from @IKAworldwide !

[Jeromy Rech @J3ROMY_]

The very first instrument of the Rech Research Lab has arrived! Meet our new microwave reactor from @CEMcorporation. Undergraduate students will use this to synthesize new conjugated polymers for organic solar cells.

[Jeromy Rech @J3ROMY_]

Today marks my last day @Stanford, a perfect place for my postdoc. A huge thanks to @zhenanbao & all Bao group members for cultivating excellence in research! I have grown so much as a scientist, mentor, and teacher thanks to you - excited to apply this in my own lab @UncAvl!

[Jeromy Rech @J3ROMY_]

Our great collaborative paper was just selected by @MaterHoriz as the winner of this year's Outstanding Article Award! A huge thanks to @jaimemartinp81 for leading this work. Check out the full details and paper here: https://t.co/YBcAR7COfU

[Jeromy Rech @J3ROMY_]

@ArthropodQueen @UncAvl Very cool, look forward to it. And congratulations as well!!

[Jeromy Rech @J3ROMY_]

Excited to share that I'll be joining @UncAvl as Assistant Professor of Chemistry this summer! I will also have an amazing group of undergrads in my research group working on making low cost, scalable, and recyclable conjugated polymers for solar cells.

[Jeromy Rech @J3ROMY_]

We've shown that you can grow plants under semi-transparent solar cells, but is the produce the same?? Check out our new work in @FrontPlantSci - genomic analysis shows how lettuce actually has improved nutrient content when grown under OPVs!

New work published in @WaterRes_J! We report a #Battery based on electrodialysis. Osmosis ruins the efficiency, so we explore a variety of ballast to stop osmosis. In the end, we show that we can make a battery using salt, sugar, & water! Check it out: https://t.co/EFJxLvDnIf

[Jeromy Rech @J3ROMY_]

A great follow up publication is now available in Optics Express (@OpticaPubsGroup). Here we further explore how we can create photodetectors to mimic the amazing eyes of a mantis shrimp! Check it out here: https://t.co/dIm9RUd0wI
