Check out the new Chemistry of Materials editorial and the Joongang Ilbo_News (KAIST Workshop) about the recent International Workshop and exciting new ideas in emerging materials!

Jillian recently returned from an excellent trip to Korea where she visited KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology). This beautiful campus hosted the International Workshop on Emerging Functional Materials, where Jillian was invited to give a talk on her current work. Later this year she’ll be headed to other international locations including China, Saudi Arabia and the Netherlands!

Congratulations to Binbin, Minjia and Cong for completing the race in Banff last weekend. Looks like the weather was perfect for a run!

We all learned a few cooking tips and tricks at our New Year’s Party! Thanks to Cong and his helpers for bringing all the supplies. YUM!

Congratulations to Fenglin Liu for winning a Best Poster Award this year! Fenglin, Jillian, Bing and Cong just returned from Beijing where they participated in ChinaNANO 2015, the 6th International Conference on Nanoscience and Technology. Between posters, presentations and plenaries the highlight was… you guessed it, FOOD! Here are some photos for those who missed out.
