Busy week in the lab🥳🥳🥳!
Check out our newest deep dive into the mechanism and control of ring expansion metathesis polymerization~ congrats to our stellar graduate @MeredithPomfre1, Nick Serck and Lucy Miller! Out in @J_A_C_S https://t.co/JJKyXtDMPO

How much money do we think this saves the average taxpayer? One dollar, maybe two per year?

Spring is here at @UWChemistry and time for our annual cherry blossom group pic! 🌸🌸🌸

[University of Washington @UW]

It’s been a wild few days of wind and rain around Washington, but then—boom—the mountain shows up and reminds us why it’s all worth it… 🗻😍

@_hcon Congratulations!

Here’s our entry to the @SigmaAldrich giveaway! #labphotos2025🤓here’s our authentic work space here at Chemistry building at @UWChemistry featuring even more authentic hard working grad student Jason and @SkalaMorgan #gradlife #sciencelab #winning

[TeamGolder @golder_team]

Our freshest PhD candidate @MatthewElardo ! Congrats on passing your general exam! Check out our recent @ChemicalScience paper on cyclic bottle brush polymer lead by Matt! https://t.co/2JQKaZbGmA

[Matthew Elardo @MatthewElardo]

@ChemicalScience @golder_team Thank you!

[Matt Golder @AurMatthew]

Our latest in cyclic polymer synthesis and uses now out in @ChemicalScience!

[Matthew Elardo @MatthewElardo]

@brianthedelight @ChemicalScience @amluw @anapolymer @MeredithPomfre1 thank you!!

[TeamGolder @golder_team]

New paper out in @ChemicalScience!

We used our modified polymer initiator to synthesize cyclic bottle brush polymers via graft-through REMP and tested their mechanical properties upon cross linking!

Congrats @MatthewElardo, @amluw and @anapolymer ! https://t.co/aB1aS1uxR7

How many peaks in 1H NMR at room temperature?

[Brian Sun @brianthedelight]

I am delighted to see our absolutely FUN polymer network out in @J_A_C_S from @golder_team! I learned so much from our wonderful collaborators at @TAMUChemistry, @UChicago and @UWChemE, thank y’all for this collaborative work. My first paper ever ✅🤩🎉

What happens when you "pull" on bullvalene? Find out in our next bullvalene story, now out in @J_A_C_S (https://t.co/pbGj5dVwAg). We look at the thermomechanical consequences of fluxional shapeshifters in thermosets. Persistence and collaboration were key!

[Brian Sun @brianthedelight]

@golder_team @Macro2024 @AurMatthew And go check out @MatthewElardo’s talk about some real packed cyclic bottle brush polymers🧐🧐🧐

[TeamGolder @golder_team]

Team Golder at @Macro2024 (@AurMatthew joining us shortly)! Come have check out our talks! (In thread)

[Matthew Elardo @MatthewElardo]

@brianthedelight @SarahZeitler1 When it happens again?!?

[Brian Sun @brianthedelight]

Congrats to Dr. @SarahZeitler1! Thank you for saving my ass so many times in lab and providing me with spare pants when I needed in lab. Don’t know what I’ll do when that happens again! Good luck we will miss you!

[Matthew Elardo @MatthewElardo]

Professor Zeitler has a nice ring to it, as much as you will be missed!!

[TeamGolder @golder_team]

Congrats to our first ever PhD from the Golder lab, Dr. @SarahZeitler1! 🎉🎉🎉 We will miss you and can’t wait to see what you’re up to in @CalPoly as Prof. Zeitler!
