- Many congratulations to all the NSF awardees!! To everyone else: fellowship rejections are NOT an indicator of future success or current worth! I was never awarded an NSF GRFP, NDSEG, or nationally competitive fellowship in grad school. I now have my dream job. #phdchat
- I will never regret walking down the hall to ask Prof. Rudy Marcus to teach my Intro to Echem students Marcus Theory. An amazing class today
- Gave a talk to middle school students about my career path. I ended up explaining the difference between an Assistant Professor and a Professor. Kid raises their hand and asks, "How do you get evaluated for promotion to Professor?" 🤯
- Very exciting and inspiring day today! @joshjzak defended his PhD!! My first PhD student! He gave a beautiful talk and certainly earned his new title 💚💚 I can't wait to see what he does on his next step. #proudadvisor is an understatement. We will all miss you so much!!
