The Research Briefing on our latest Nature Materials paper is out 🥳!
These articles offer an accessible overview of the publication while also sharing a "behind-the-paper" glimpse into the research process.

How can ion-ingression cause deswelling of a polymer film? BBL keeps surprising us!
We find cation-polymer interactions affect charge and mass transport
Many thanks to all collaborators, and my mentor @SimoneFabiano for his guidance

This article definitely does not have all the answers, but I hope my contemplations and views help to develop your own (research) supervision style!

[Tom van der Pol @tpavanderpol]

Research supervision is crucial in academia, but definitely not straightforward. As a postdoc/supervisor, I often wonder about my own supervision style.
Now, I am very proud to share my in-depth discussion in #hogreutbildning!

Come join @tpavanderpol, Sabine Ludwigs and I in Valencia ☀️🏝️😎 this Fall at #MATSUS25 @nanoGe_Conf. We’ll discuss OECT materials, devices, applications, modeling, and more! We have a fantastic invited speaker lineup already and look forward to your exciting contributed talks!

[Tom van der Pol @tpavanderpol]

Back in Sweden after crossing the bridge. It was great to visit friends, family, and amazing research groups in Delft and Bremen.
Many thanks for having us Björn Lüssum and @achilleas_savva!

[Tom van der Pol @tpavanderpol]

@kunaldatta @TUeindhoven @BaenaLab @jpcorreabaena Great to see your continued journey, this time bringing you back to Eindhoven with sunny weather nonetheless! After a record breaking year of rain that must mean you are the zonnetje in huis😁.

[Tom van der Pol @tpavanderpol]

Back from #F24MRS last week. Had an amazing time in Boston! It was great to talk and discuss with so many people.
Turns out this sign does not indicate the Organic Materials session.

[Tom van der Pol @tpavanderpol]

Almost in Boston for #F24MRS, looking forward. Layover at Newark was a bit long, but at least I know all about Jersey trivia now.

The correct answer was: Eastern Goldfinch🐦

[Tom van der Pol @tpavanderpol]

@OBardagot That is horrible. How do they think this is acceptable.

[Tom van der Pol @tpavanderpol]

Back in Sweden from @nanoGe_Conf, but the impressions and new ideas traveled home with me. Lausanne is beautiful and the conference very inspiring, especially the OMIECs symposium!

P.S. finally saw the DSSC wall 🤓. It is still colorful in most places.

[Tom van der Pol @tpavanderpol]

Pleasure to be there! Really enjoyed the great talks and it was superbly organized.

[FemtoMat @femtomat]

Last week, we had the pleasure to welcome the OMIEC community in Bern. We had the possibility to show our fantastic labs and our research to a lot of PIs in the field all at once. Thank you to everyone involved in the planning! It was a pleasure to host you all!

[Tom van der Pol @tpavanderpol]

Very grateful for the opportunity! We had great discussions in our #OMIEC symposium (#MATSUS).
The lab visit (and diner) that you organized was the cherry on top.
Thank you @OBardagot and @BanerjiNatalie, I enjoyed it a lot!

[Olivier Bardagot @OBardagot]

@tpavanderpol disclosed top results on the ambipolarity of BBL. Stay tuned for the coming publication of his results with @FabianoSimone! At #OMIEC symposium #MATSUS

[Tom van der Pol @tpavanderpol]

On my way to @nanoGe_Conf MATSUS in Lausanne. Looking forward to a great conference!
And I wouldn't mind some more sun either🌞.

[Tom van der Pol @tpavanderpol]

I can really recommend to join #ForskarFredag next year! All the participants are very grateful for a "peek behind the curtain" of academic science. And it's great practice to summarize and present your research for such a diverse and non-specialist crowd. #forskare #OpenScience

[Tom van der Pol @tpavanderpol]

From the first day to the last presentation, #ForskarFredag has been a blast! It was great to discuss (my) science with six classes of students🧑‍🎓 and even a group from @MensaSverige!
Great initiative by @vetenskapoallm in connection to European Researchers' Night.
