The ACS Colloid & Surface Science Symposium will be held at NC State from June 4-7. Abstract submission is now open. Please RT -- this is an especially student-friendly conference with plenty of #colloid science to go around. Visit https://t.co/8p0ha7AvEm for more information!

Our preprint is out now on biorxiv : https://t.co/D6qbe08CdS. In this work we investigate the interplay between interaction strength and sequence composition on phase separation of model disordered proteins. @JeetainMittal @Dsundara993 @drmphoward

@StattAntonia @thomas_oconnor We don't but I think this would be relatively easy to do! The main method needed is to cast lammpsio and gsd Snapshots back and forth

[Mike Howard @drmphoward]

Simulators! We are working on releasing some of our tools. This week's is lammpsio, (yet another) Python package for reading & writing LAMMPS data & dump files. We think the interface is pretty clean in our workflows. Available @ https://t.co/kIi3HYDjOb

Looking forward to working on this project with Mayukh and Arash!

Asst. ChemE prof. Michael Howard received a 3-year NSF grant to investigate new strategies for making colloidal supraparticles, a soft material for applications ranging from catalyzing chemical reactions to creating brilliant structural coloration.

Interested in what thermodynamic models are good for drying suspensions? Love stat mech & hard spheres? Mayukh's first paper is available on arXiv! https://t.co/TV5osHS3WK

@xmwebb I got a cartoon of Raoult vs. swole Modified Raoult on an exam, so I think you need a better audience!

Hey #ChemicalEngineers! Looking forward to @ChEnected Area 01J - Fluid Mechanics at the 2022 Annual Meeting in Phoenix. Full list of sessions below. Due to technical difficulties, Complex Fluids was invisible on the submission system, but this is now fixed! RT and submit today!

@aichecomsef @ChEnected CoMSEF folks…..spread the word. Tagging few folks to get it started. @JeetainMittal @andrewwhite01 @JimPfaendtner @PoornimaDrP @oldmanjank @shahjk @rai_neeraj2 @VanLehnGroup @arthijayaraman @ShikhaNangia @Michael_Shirts @FergLab

Congratulations to my colleague Jian Qin (sadly not on Twitter) who received this year's Dillon Medal!! Jian is a brilliant polymer physicist, supportive mentor to his students, and thoughtful colleague...a well-deserved honor! @APS_DPOLY @StanfordEng https://t.co/iIbwPctQsu

[Mike Howard @drmphoward]

Is MPCD a good model for colloidal suspensions? Yes (mostly), and it’s easy to apply to complex particle shapes! Preprint with Arash and talented Auburn undergraduate Grace is on arXiv https://t.co/HK6tCk6viZ

RT please!

@SymoneAlexander Hey there neighbor! I can't wait, it will be awesome to work with you too!!

[Mike Howard @drmphoward]

Big thanks to @PennStateChE (& Scott Milner), @EPrinceton (& Thanos Panagiotopoulos) and @TexasChE (& @TM_Truskett), and of course @greenrache and many others for helping me get here!!

[Mike Howard @drmphoward]

First day of school (again)! It's been quite a year, but I'm super excited to officially start my career at @AuburnU. Looking forward to sharing and pushing forward my work on soft materials with great chemical engineering students! (Old picture... it's cold here!)

[Mike Howard @drmphoward]

Design of molecular properties like flexibility can enhance our control over linked colloid assemblies. Great work by undergraduate student Adithya Sreenivasan is up on arXiv! https://t.co/4sJVAHsy1G

[Mike Howard @drmphoward]

Statistical mechanics predicts the prevalence of common bonding motifs in linked colloid assemblies (& how we might avoid them). Our recent work is up on arXiv! https://t.co/RcxWNt7Ypn
