Can’t wait to see so many amazing leaders of the inorganic nanoscience community in Vermont this week for the first ACIN conference!

On my way to the first-ever American Conference on Inorganic Nanoscience (ACIN). Grateful to @brandicossairt.bsky.social and the other organizers for bringing the community together to exchange ideas. I hope our international colleagues can reach the US safely.

Working with WANDA (and Emory!) was one of the highlights of my PhD, and I’m looking forward to my group returning someday to take advantage of these amazing tools. Also excited for the Automating Chemical Laboratories Scialog conference this week to think about how the field moves into the future!

I can't believe it's been 15 years since this paper came out! We introduced a nanocrystal-synthesizing robot called WANDA to the world! Now robots & ML are all the rage, but WANDA was a pioneer & is still going strong. @deliamilliron.bsky.social @molecularfoundry.lbl.gov
