Research paper #2 from our group just dropped as Open Access in Adv Materials. In this paper, we probe pendant length in frontal polymerization and the resulting material properties. @KA_Stew absolutely crushed this one, check it out! @JacobJLessard1

A little teaser (preprint) of next things to come from postdoc work at Utah in @LessardLab. Wish us safe travels as we navigate peer review.

Our first paper on controlling molecular weight in Frontal Polymerization is live as Hot Paper in Angew. Chem. Check is out! @KA_Stew @JacobJLessard1 @angew_chem

Checkout some Chemical Activation of FROMP from my time at UIUC. Big shout out to Anna Cramblitt for crushing this work! @ACSMacroLett @Mechanophore @BeckmanIllinois

Happy to share the first published work from my PhD!

When I started 3D printing thermosets in my first year, I was immediately frustrated with the process. Resins took ages to prepare AND didn't last long.

@JacobJLessard1 and I cooked up this technique to solve the first problem - we didn't expect it to solve both!

Was great to be part of this cool project lead by @pranavkrn and Nancy Sottos. In this work we use Grubbs' 3rd gen to modify resins for direct ink writing with FROMP. @Mechanophore @BeckmanIllinois @MacroJrnls_ACS

Our group is seeking applicants for a postdoctoral researcher position in the field of neat polymerization for fiber-reinforced composite applications. Experience with polymer chemistry, resin formulation, and composite manufacturing is required. Please RT.

Our latest paper is out in @ACSEnergyLett. Huge thanks to @BeckmanFnd for their support through the Beckman Scholars program at @UtahChemistry and the @WilkesCenter at @UUtah.

[Jacob J Lessard @JacobJLessard1]

New Group Website is up! Still a work in progress but feel free to check it out!

I had a blast seeing everyone and giving a talk at UNH! Thanks for letting me share my science.

[Tehshik Yoon @TehshikYoon]

Our undergrad Rodrigo wondered if we could replace the bespoke chiral acid used in our recent asymmetric photochemistry with commercial (S)-TRIP. His protocol for enantioselective truxinate synthesis on 2-gram scale just dropped on @OrgSynth: https://t.co/Af1e9Yq2TS

[Aaron Puri @awpuri]

We have a new paper out in AnalyticalChemistry (@an_chem)! Detection of Inverse Stable Isotopic Labeling in Untargeted Metabolomic Data. https://t.co/TBaFAJgfyp
Congrats @TashiLieb and Ethan Murdock.

[Jacob J Lessard @JacobJLessard1]

Super stoked to have been a small part of this super cool paper on FP patterning just published in @Nature. Huge congrats to the team and especially Justine for exceptional work!
