@ReginaBaglia this is my gift to you for the year.

[Smaldone Lab @smaldonelab]

Congratulations to Dr. Ashele K Remy @ashele_k for defending her thesis like a PRO, we’re gonna miss you buddy.

@ronsmaldone This is the most Texan thing I’ve ever seen - insect edition 😳😂

Where does Sheel C. Dodani hope to be in five years? @UTDallasChemBio @waynestatechem @WhitneySYOng @arwalker_on_gpu Find out on her #IntroducingAngewandte page https://t.co/E8W5zsX6pe https://t.co/zAego3AqSZ

[Ron Smaldone @ronsmaldone]

Congratulations to Dr @KarenCorguz for defending her thesis on sustainable polymers for #3Dprinting! She’s been a force of nature in the lab FOR mother nature, and now will take her talents to @ORNL as a postdoc. One last vegan group dinner to say thanks and goodbye- sustainably!

@Snekumari Thank you Sneha! 😄

[Whitney Ong @WhitneySYOng]

Happy to share one of my work back in grad school is out! This paper wasn’t originally planned - it’s a result from some initial investigation with some “weird” results from another project which turned into a full-scale investigation. Science is cool and weird that way, huh?🤪

@PerezMedinaLu Thank you Luciano!

@Snekumari @ChemicalScience Congratulations Sneha! It’s so cool seeing these images! The top right pic with ZIF-8 looks like dragon! 🐉 😲

[Academic Exit @academic_exit]

PhDs: your dissertation topic is less relevant to finding a role outisde of academia than your *skills*.

Here's a 🧵 on how to translate skills you already have into corpspeak using examples from my own PhD work experience:

[Whitney Ong @WhitneySYOng]

@PerezMedinaLu @UTDallasChemBio @MatyPolymerLab @FCQBUAP1 Yes, I love his talk when I went to a polymer conference few years ago! Btw, this room is unfamiliar, which building is this? 🤣

[Ron Smaldone @ronsmaldone]

Congrats to DR Sachini Perera for passing her thesis defense today! She’s off to 🇨🇦 to work with @Metamaterialtec starting next Monday. We still managed to squeeze in a goodbye dinner last Friday to get some tasty Sri Lankan food @SpicyZest.

@TSHowlett This is so cool!

@rebeccamj916 @smaldonelab @ronsmaldone @KarenCorguz @Sachini_DP Congratulations Rebecca! Love your soNg choice too 😁

[Whitney Ong @WhitneySYOng]

@PerezMedinaLu I don’t think I have, but that just gives me a reason to go back!

…..when the weather is nicer 🤣

[Whitney Ong @WhitneySYOng]

Cold weather calls for some hotpot! Although I hear it’s warmer here in NJ than in TX now 🤔

[Daniel Gould, MD, PhD @DJGould94]

They call me a PhD candidate because I can, and did, ate all the free food at every available opportunity
