My group's most recent work, looking at surfactant mixtures in aerosol droplets, is now online in Environmental Science & Technology pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

The American Chemical Society announced that the ACS Board of Directors has approved $2.5 million to be granted to graduate students who have been impacted by the termination or cancellation of their adviser’s research grant(s) cen.acs.org/acs-news/acs... #chemsky

Atmospheric chemist @alisonbain.bsky.social, an assistant professor at @oregonstate.edu and one of C&EN's Talented 12, will be speaking at the #CENT12 Symposium on Monday, August 18 in Washington, DC. RSVP here: connect.discoveracs.org/talented-12-...

My team's first research paper is now online in Aerosol Science and Technology 'Surface tension predictions during hygroscopic growth and cloud droplet activation using a simple kinetic surfactant partitioning model' www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

My favorite day of the year might be the one snowy day we get in Corvallis, and bonus, they close the university so I can go outside and enjoy it.

Our latest work, looking at the partitioning of ionic surfactants in aerosol droplets containing glutaric acid, sodium chloride, or sea salts egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...

Teaching spectroscopy this term means I get to spend time in the lab building demos. If the students don’t enjoy them at least I had fun.

My group is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to investigate the chemical and physical properties of candidate materials for solar radiation management. Candidates with a background in aerosol science and/or spectroscopy are encouraged to apply. www.bainaerosolresearch.com/join

I teach my analytical chemistry class how to use Python for data analysis. At the beginning of the term, a poll indicated that 75% of the class had never used Python before, now, just 10 weeks later, my students are submitting Python code to solve problems on assignments where it is not required. 🥰
