Congratulations to Louis Brus, Moungi Bawendi, and Alexi Ekimov on their Nobel Prize in Chemistry! Here is a recent video of Louis providing his perspective on changes in science during his lifetime. #nobelprizechemistry #NobelPrize2023 https://t.co/ZJhPjS67sa

Congratulations to my PhD advisor Louis Brus on his well deserved Nobel Prize win for the discovery of QDs! A true scientist's scientist, 100% substance and 0% hype, always seeking out important new scientific questions. An inspiration to so many, and a genuinely kind person!

[Will Tisdale @TisdaleWA]

Building on this thread, Louis Brus has authored multiple papers over the years that stand out in my memory as moments that fundamentally shifted my mental picture of physical phenomena in materials. Some examples:

QUANTUM DOTS WIN THE NOBEL!! Particular congratulations to Louis Brus, who has been an inspirational mentor to me and so many others in the field.

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2023 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus and Alexei I. Ekimov “for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots.”

[Sarah R. Bolton @PresidentBolton]

Great to have opportunity to visit with some of the @whitmancollege students doing science research on campus this week! Many thanks to the faculty who provide these great opportunities and to all who welcomed me and explained the terrific work happening this summer !

[Whitman Chemistry @WhitmanChem]

Excited to have >20 students joining us for summer research in the chemistry department this year! We kicked things off yesterday with a quick break from lab work for coffee, pastries, and introductions:

[Mark Hendricks @markphendricks]

This is so cool! Congrats to the team!

[Emory Chan @EmoryChanNano]

Check out our latest work in @Nature! We show that photon avalanching nanoparticles can be switched on and off repeatedly using light, which allows us to perform <1 Å accuracy super-resolution imaging and 3D nanopatterning. https://t.co/z1lV6uB3sv

@happykitten62 All you need is a furnace, some LN2, and a strong magnet to watch superconductors float! https://t.co/TliPvFIoxX

[Jacob Olshansky @jacob_olshansky]

Excited to share our latest work on quantum dot spin states now out in @J_A_C_S, featuring three @AmherstCollege students as co-authors! Big thanks to @argonne scientists for performing the spin measurements.

@ARChianese As someone who has spent a lot of time around both of these elements, I vote too risky. With highly trained research UGs I think it’s totally possible to be safe, but in an UG teaching lab chances are too high for a mistake, and any exposure is bad exposure.

Come join us at Whitman Chemistry next year!

[Whitman Chemistry @WhitmanChem]

Whitman Chemistry is searching for TWO visiting colleagues for the next academic year! One focused on organic (https://t.co/1FHKxelehF) and one on pchem/general chemistry (https://t.co/DZGaZAv1Fs). We have an amazing department and fantastic students; please spread the word!

[Mark Hendricks @markphendricks]

@sciencegeist @Frank_Leibfarth @Chemjobber @JakeYeston @AmerChemSociety @cenmag That feels so accurate.

[Mark Hendricks @markphendricks]

@NeilWithers @cenmag Also super curious. Can @ChemistryWorld get us the scoop on what’s going on over at c&en? It doesn’t seem like we’re going to get an answer from them…

[Center for Regenerative Nanomedicine @NU_CRN]

SQI director Samuel Stupp will receive the 2022 Von Hippel Award, the highest honor given by the Materials Research Society (@Materials_MRS).

@ARingerMcDonald These are the types of “innovate teaching of pchem” insights that I want to learn at the ACS symposium!

[Mark Hendricks @markphendricks]

Abstracts are due today! This is gearing up to be an incredible symposium; if you have some innovative way to teach pchem (lecture or lab) this would be a fantastic venue to share it!

[Prof. Ashley Ringer McDonald @ARingerMcDonald]

There’s only 3 days left to get your abstract submitted for our PHYS symposium “Innovative Teaching in Physical Chemistry” so don’t delay! @lizz_thrall @gracestokes @markphendricks

[Mark Hendricks @markphendricks]

I’ve said it before, but we live in the future. We’re watching nanocrystals grow on the atomic scale!

[Berkeley Lab @BerkeleyLab]

This atomic-scale movie upends a 100-year-old theory! Thanks to record-breaking 🔬 video resolution at our @molecularfoundry, scientists have discovered 🔎 how atomic-scale defects direct #nanoparticle growth. Check it out ⬇️

[Prof. Ashley Ringer McDonald @ARingerMcDonald]

One of these symposia is “Innovative Teaching in Physical Chemistry”, organized by me, @lizz_thrall, @gracestokes, and @markphendricks. This covers all physical chemistry topics (theory and experiment) and all courses (lecture and lab)! Get those abstracts submitted by Oct. 17!!
