It’s official… I’m a PhD candidate! I’m so grateful for all the members of the @ManthiramLab 🤝 I’m so lucky to be surrounded by such brilliant scientists and wonderful friends. I can’t believe this is my life, it’s really a dream come true!

On Tuesday, history was made at Caltech. 600 Postdocs and Graduate Student Workers rallied at our Mass Membership Meeting. We called for a ✊ STRIKE AUTHORIZATION VOTE ✊, in support of a resolution written by the bargaining team.

Can thermocatalysts be adapted to impart electrochemical reactivity? @js_zeng electrified thermochemical hydroformylation (HFN) catalysts to develop an electro-HFN system for industrial decarbonization, opening the design space for electrocatalysts. https://t.co/xfxQ6iAeLi

[Joy Zeng @js_zeng]

Very happy to share a highlight of my PhD! As a design strategy for developing a new C-C bond forming electrocatalyst, we sequentially “electrified” a thermochemical hydroformylation (HFN) catalyst to access analogous electrochemical reactivity. https://t.co/zlBm5w8lYv

“Dissent must never lead to disorder” - President Biden.

From Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter From Birmingham Jail,” written in 1963:

“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

For the people upset with college protests:

[Caltech Grad Students & Postdocs United @uaw_2478]

We WON our union at Caltech! 🎉 Over 76% of graduate students (799/1045 voters) and 83% of postdocs (240/290 voters) voted yes.

This is the first time in academic labor history that grads and postdocs voted to unionize simultaneously.

Onward towards a better Caltech! 💪

It's go time! 🎉Our union election has begun – get out and vote! #UnionYES

Voting is open: TODAY and TOMORROW from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm – 7:00 pm. Head to Ramo Auditorium Lobby. 💪

So proud🥹

Today is Filing Day! 🎉 We just attempted to deliver our letter requesting a fair process towards union recognition. Unfortunately, Provost Tirrell refused to accept a physical copy. So, we went ahead and taped it onto his door. 😬

[Manthiram Lab @ManthiramLab]

Our labmates have been hard at work at Brookhaven National Labs, using X-rays to peer into electrocatalysts under catalytic conditions ☢️⚡️

Despite the long hours, they pulled thru! Excited to see what y'all learned!

[Caltech Grad Students & Postdocs United @uaw_2478]

This is what union power looks like: hundreds of Caltech grads and postdocs gathered outside Caltech Hall today! We are united and want a say in our working conditions.
