Hey @AmericanAir it’s 48 hours delay, two nights in airport hotels on a journey Chicago - Honolulu. Can you get your people to do their job???? 🤬

[Cecilia Leal @leal_prof]

Very nice to see this tremendous and collaborative work published. It took us a long time, but I’m very proud of it.

Happy to have contributed to this @Nature paper with Nancy Sottos and others. We determined how the polymer chains align within these new patterned materials ☺️ @IllinoisMatSE

[Beckman Institute at Illinois @BeckmanIllinois]

Beckman researchers used a process called frontal polymerization to create materials that mimic the patterned structure that makes natural organisms resilient. 💪

Their study appeared today in @Nature.

I really like @UofIllinois tradition where the Library lets you laminate a book of your choice when you are promoted. I chose F. Pessoa. Here's why:

@ProfDAHammer Right??!!

[Cecilia Leal @leal_prof]

Come on @AmericanAir 1 HOUR on the tarmac??? You better wait for me so I catch the last flight home 🤬🤬🤬🤬

[Cecilia Leal @leal_prof]

@DiaoGroup Many congratulations Ying. I am right there with you on this one😊

@aksimentievLab @Nature Wow! Fascinating, I am curious about what are the dusty things around the phage, ions? I can also read the paper😂

[Cecilia Leal @leal_prof]

@wsleal2014 @MayBerenbaum @EstherNgumbi @Cotesia1 😀 We should organize a workshop with the theme: advances in research at the Leal laboratories 🤓

[Cecilia Leal @leal_prof]

@ProfJohnARogers @Westlake_Uni Very nice to see some familiar faces in the pictures.

[Cecilia Leal @leal_prof]

Biology is complex but when ⁦@coledeforest⁩ is explaining it to us, it’s just a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing your amazing work at the very last 2023 ⁦@IllinoisMatSE⁩ colloquium. It was great! #materials #biomaterials

[Cecilia Leal @leal_prof]

@eJoeFlow @PoreLab_SFF Oh thank you so much! I was still a bit sleepy but enjoyed it!
