We're thankful for our hard-working little hand-turkeys this year! 🦃🦃

Congratulations to our summer undergraduate, Yamilet Rivera Cintrón! 🥳 She recently won an award for her American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) AIChE poster! We're very proud of you Yamilet, and excited to see your next steps!

Our annual holiday party started with a Secret Santa gift exchange and ended with our all-you-can-eat sushi dinner tradition! 🍣🎄 What a great way to wind down the year 😊

It was a pleasure to write a News&Views article on Fu et al.'s recent Nature Materials paper! Inspired by Ca-batteries, they demonstrated Echem N2 reduction using Ca instead of Li, opening exciting possibilities in this space! Congrats to the authors 🥳 nature.com/articles/s4156…

Congratulations to our new lab member Clara Seo for being awarded the CEMI 1st Year Graduate Student Fellowship! (CEMI = Center for Environmental Microbial Interactions)

Our former postdoc & now new faculty at Queen's University Rachel Baker is looking for folks! See the posting below for exciting research ⚡️👇

One of our favorite traditions - the Lab Birthday! Celebrating the growth and development of the lab, our wonderful students and postdocs (and PI!). 🎂 Another year in the books, and more fun science to come 🧑‍🔬👩‍🔬🧪

Happy #WomenAndGirlsInScienceDay everyone! We're proud to highlight our hardworking women in the group, and recognize that we wouldn't be effective, creative, and collaborative if it wasn't for contributions from a diverse pool of researchers 💪👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬

Had a great time last week chatting with some of the women in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the Global Women’s Breakfast hosted by the Queen’s ACS Student Chapter 👩🏼‍🔬 Queen's Chem Eng Queenschem Kingston

Need some weekend reading (maybe on a flight to ACS 🤔)? Now out in Journal of Catalysis we review electrodes and non-sacrificial anodes for Echem carboxylations! Free to read for the next 50 days! 🤓 Thanks to Rachel Baker and Thu Ton for leading this! 💪 authors.elsevier.com/a/1ijsz4-S8jXPG

A huge congratulations to our graduate student Michael Yusov for receiving the NSF-GRFP award! 🥳🎉 This will support his incredible efforts in machine learning and high throughput experimentation for Li-mediated N2 reduction! 🧪🤖

Can thermocatalysts be adapted to impart electrochemical reactivity? Joy Zeng electrified thermochemical hydroformylation (HFN) catalysts to develop an electro-HFN system for industrial decarbonization, opening the design space for electrocatalysts. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

And a special thank you to Emma Cosner (she/her) and Spencer Delgado for seeing this work across the finish line! A very fascinating study to cut one's Echem Teeth on 😊

Wonderful to hear Shelly Diamond give a perspective on the history of Pride throughout the years, at Caltech, and how it’s culminated in the first Caltech/JPL Pride Parade float 🏳️‍🌈
