[Dr. Madelyn Ball @MadelynRBall]

I am so grateful to have had the absolute best colleagues and collaborators at WVU over the past few years who have supported me as I started my independent career. I will miss them all as I move to this next chapter of my career!

[Dr. Madelyn Ball @MadelynRBall]

I'm very excited to officially share that in mid August, my research group and I will be moving to the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at Michigan State University! @michiganstateu

[Dr. Madelyn Ball @MadelynRBall]

I'm excited to share our recent work on structure sensitivity in CO2 methanation published in @CatalysisSciTec!

What is the value of a PhD to the student? Piggy backing on this bc the responses to @pauldauenhauer were overall disheartening. 1/n please share and add!!!

[Dr. Madelyn Ball @MadelynRBall]

And tomorrow morning 10-12:30 undergrads Rachel Phillips and Ethan Robey will present posters of their work! Come by and learn about some of the cool catalysis they’re doing!

[Dr. Madelyn Ball @MadelynRBall]

Tomorrow is a big day for our group at #AIChE2023 - Majed Alam Abir will present his work on CO2 methanation at 3:48 pm in Plaza Ballroom D

Thank you to Madison Santmyer, Frankie Tack, and Stanley Hileman for voting with the faculty, staff, and students who have, in no uncertain terms, made their positions clear.

BREAKING:

As WVU Board meets to vote on massive program cuts, AAUP calls out lack of faculty involvement, urges adherence to academic due process

Our AIChE Journal perspective with @MadelynRBall👇🏼 Membrane design could benefit from leveraging the “catalysts toolkit” - hope both communities find it useful. Thanks @WVHEPC for funding and the editors for the invite!Congrats @deepanjaliroy , Mihir Kulkarni & Nhan Khuu 🎉

In reviewing the recommendations for WVU’s department cuts, 2 trends stuck out:

-Degrees that are often 2nd majors were penalized
-Specialization was penalized

🧵1/9 on pitfalls of that thinking

[Anonymous Faculty Member @AnonymousF59605]

Of all the proposed cuts outside my home unit, this is the one that blows me away the most. Cutting a unit that provides ~20,000 credit hours of instruction annually, saying that those classes aren't worthwhile.

[Amelia Knisely @ameliaknisely]

West Virginia University leaders have recommended doing away with 32 of its majors and 169 faculty jobs are on the line amid a $45M budget shortfall.
"My colleagues and I are still in shock," a professor told me.
