Have you seen this recent Chemical Science paper from Christy Haynes et al.?

“Vacuum infiltration for priming of soybean seeds: optimization and particle tracking using fluorescent silica nanoparticles”

The Haynes group recently received a patent for their groundbreaking novel nanoparticle research that aims to fight global food insecurity. We're #UMNProud of this powerful research progress! #DriventoDiscover 🍉 cse.umn.edu/chem/news/ha...

Have any chemistry grad students been affected by the NSF MPS-Ascend fellowship being archived?

Cheng-Hsin's recent patent application served as a basis for for the 3rd place winners of MN Crucible Prize competition who pitched her nanoparticles as "Innovative Elements" for #PFAS remediation. Congrats to the winners + Cheng-Hsin! Read about the patent here: patents.google.com/patent/US202...

New review article out in Chemical Society Reviews @roysocchem.bsky.social featuring @clh731.bsky.social + many co-authors providing a historical perspective on Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy! #SERS

@clh731.bsky.social kicking off our department’s biannual Strengthening Climate event yesterday! The topic was on Effective Strategies for Engaging Everyday Conflict led by Julie Showers!

Hi #ChemSky! @cenmag.bsky.social and I want to learn how the chemistry community might be affected by any immigration policies currently being proposed for 2025.

If you might be impacted and can give any insight, I'd really appreciate if you could fill out this form: forms.office.com/r/87NQhFKrFh

WHY do some places no longer serve fries with a burger? Like you have to pay an additional $3 to “upgrade” for fries? 🙄

Here’s some Friday afternoon motivation to get us through the day (and maybe even the rest of the month😵‍💫). #chemsky

Good news, Altmetric has now started watching BlueSky for mentions of publications. And by the way, provides an easy comparison between this and the old site for a recent preprint of mine which I posted simultaneousl at both. Numbers speak by themselves !

Hey #chemsky, meet our new first year, Yu (Cheryl) Chen, who has a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Guangdong University and a master’s degree in chemical engineering from Northeastern University! Her thesis work will focus on developing silica nanoparticles for agriculture! #nanosky

So @altmetric.com is now tracking on @bsky.app too! Flagging for #Chemsky

Our former summer researcher, Chinny, wrote a blog post about her project that also includes a fun #sciart component (scroll to the end)! #chemsky #nanosky #scicomm #pfas

Look who’s joined the Bluesky party!!

S/o to our first follower (maybe our most important one)!

We are excited to be on Bluesky to share our science and outreach with the #chemsky and #nanosky communities! Follow for more updates!

Same here! I’m excited to engage with #chemtwitter again :)
