A sad & shocking news! I don’t tweet often, but I felt such an urge to tweet today. It was @sirfrasersays brought me to tweeter and advocate science. The stories of his generosity and support for young are endless. Just his last days, he was still writing support letters for me.
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Sir Fraser Stoddart, Nobel Laureate and cherished member of @NorthwesternU. His groundbreaking contributions transformed the field of #chemistry and inspired countless scientists worldwide.

A new way to recycle plastics! Check out this discovery from a team led by MII's Guoliang "Greg" Liu, an associate professor of chemistry in the Virginia Tech College of Science. This work was recently published in the popular journal Science!

Guoliang "Greg" Liu talks to @fox5dc about a novel idea: turning used plastic - bags, jugs, one-use food containers - into soap. 🫧https://t.co/6fZ5BcJ1eu @VTChemDept@VTresearch
Super proud to host talented Casandrah Catterton as our REU this summer! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw her self-designed and a dozen hand-made logos for our lab! And my group self-organized a farewell party for her. The Liu group always surprises me in such a great way!
After the @GordonConf polymers, I have finally lost my COVID virgin. Although I was wearing a mask most of the time, those who had contact may want to check out too.
The bad news is that I will quarantine in a hotel for another unknown number of days so that the bug doesn’t reach my months-old at home. But the good news is that I will get an upgrade from a dorm bed to a regular bed. And oh yay! It comes with a bathroom!!!
@barneygrubbs@FindlaterGroup@GordonConf You did the best you can. Thank you, Barney! These things nobody can predict and control. I hope you will recover soon!
What is @gregliu_vt's proudest invention? His next one!
Holder of over a dozen patents, with companies like @westerndigital, @intel, and @Ford, his #VTresearch focuses on ways to integrate materials in order to solve energy and #environmental problems💻⚙️

@GregLiu_VT of @VT_Science has created a formula to convert "hard-to-recycle" materials into liquid chemicals and upcycle them into high-value chemicals!
