Last year, the tshirt design below won the inaugural competition.

@APS_DPOLY t-shirt design competition is back for the 2025 @APSphysics Global Physics Summit.

All DPOLY members are welcome to submit designs by Jan 5th, 2025:

[Chinedum Osuji @OsujiChinedum]

Check out our new paper on unusual structure formation and dynamics exhibited by liquid crystals during phase separation. Great work by Yuma Morimitsu and Chris Browne, among others. @CBE_Penn @PennEngineers https://t.co/WXZ00DtW9H

[Dr. Pierre Kawak بيير قواق @PolymerPolymath]

The 2024 Ig Nobel Prize in Chemistry was a Polymer Physics article on active polymers 😲 @improbresearch

[Al Crosby @aljcrosby]

I was excited to read this @softmatter perspective by Heinrich Jaeger and colleagues @UChiPhysics --- and it didn't disappoint!

Community engagement post:

What is your favorite review article on polymers that you've recently read?

[Laboratory of Soft and Living Materials @SoftLiv_Cornell]

Join us on Tuesday, August 6th, for the final session of the Special Condensate Colloquium Summer Series! 🌞🔬

This week's talks feature "Structure and Sequence in Charge-Driven Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation" by Sarah Perry (@perrys_lab) and Charles E. Sing (@SingLabUIUC).

[LAMMPS tutorials @lammpstutorials]

Did you know that LAMMPS comes with a Graphical User Interface ? It's perfect for beginners. You can download precompiled versions here for Linux, MacOS, and Windows : https://t.co/VebgAu9XOR Feel free to provide your feedback to the LAMMPS dev on https://t.co/Fim9c89DKo

[Jeff Ting @J_Ting1]

Pleasant morning read in @MacroJrnls_ACS ACS Macro Lett on "Statistical Copolymerization-Induced Self-Assembly" - another cool use of Compositional Drift program by @TingXu_Berkeley to show how charged "solid" self-assemblies outperform block polymers 😍

Reminder: Registrations due for Lorentz Center workshop "Breaking Barriers in Polymer Materials Design", https://t.co/uIWuNswlfU on Aug 1st! The workshop will be on October 21-25, 2024 in Leiden and we still have a few spots open, particularly for early-career researchers!

[Kathryn Wilcox, PhD @KathrynGWilcox]

It's been a long time coming but...

✅ Graduated with a PhD from an awesome advisor

✅ Obtained a job at a great company

✅ Excited to co-chair the Polymer Physics Gordon Research Seminar in ~1 day

So excited for the future and to see some old faces that got me here! 🤩

[Sarah Perry (she/her) @perrys_lab]

Hey all of you #polyelectrolyte folks out there. Mark your calendar for the next International Symposium on Polyelectrolytes for July 2025 in Brazil!
Also, if you're a young investigator, please consider applying for the inaugural Paul Dubin Award! https://t.co/E1fkNiU7RC

[Shu Yang @ShuYangPenn]

Postdoc opening in 3D printing, starting in Oct/Nov. The candidate should have a PhD in material sci., civil, environmental or mech. eng. Experience in mineralization, biomass synthesis, and bacterial/algae growth is a plus. Pls send CV, letter of interest, 2 selected papers.

[Big Kev @interguy8]

Got published and I'm first author! 😊

[Dr. Pierre Kawak بيير قواق @PolymerPolymath]

Friends, please consider nominating yourself or others to an @APSphysics committee. Clearly, APS needs some fresh blood.

https://t.co/GUPSPmDkLN

The nomination deadline is July 1st. Please spread the word!

[William Forrest Drayer @_Drayerv2]

(the answer is no)
