This is more than a paper to me - while I LOVE Ni and arynes and doing something the data said you can’t do, this paper process made me grow up as a PI - it took tenacity, tears, storytelling, and most of all building and leading a team to accomplish something together #proudPI

If you know me, you won’t be surprised that we put up a dart board in @robertsgroupumn office! Good to have a little socially distanced competition throughout the day! Looks like @JoshGavin17 will win and be choosing where we get group lunch on Fri! Any virtual challengers?

Sending off our first lab alumni is bittersweet! Annabel has been instrumental in getting multiple projects off the ground and setting an excellent example for my young group! @EntosAI is lucky to have you @annabelly24 !

Win or lose, it’s always a great day to be a Tar Heel! ♥️ such a fun weekend catching up with @MeekLab @jillianldempsey and @Sidhill_Phd ! Too bad I coerced @Alex_Zhuko into watching that heartbreaking game and now he will never speak to me again! 😉😊

Very excited to share that I will be joining the faculty at @UofR effective Jan 2021! The Barnett lab will work at the interface of organometallic and materials chemistry, with focuses in supramolecular catalysis, porous liquid design, and gas storage/separations. #newPI 1/5

As labs are ramping down research, a heads up that you can add the Zoom app (or whatever your university uses...blue jeans, etc) to you Slack account, sign in through Zoom at your univ then initiate Zoom video chats in your Slack channels by typing /zoom and hitting enter twice.
