What are MOFs, the materials behind this week's Nobel Prize in Chemistry? In my most recent story for @uwnews.uw.edu, @uwchemistry.bsky.social's Dianne Xiao and Douglas Reed talk all about the significance of these structures and how researchers use them. www.washington.edu/news/2025/10...

So much fun doing this Q&A about @uwbiology.bsky.social degrees in honor of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine yesterday. www.washington.edu/news/2025/10...

Had so much fun talking to @brandicossairt.bsky.social about what makes quantum dots shine for my recent @uwnews.uw.edu story: www.washington.edu/news/2025/09...

My latest story! It was such a pleasure to work with @drewharvell.bsky.social on this.

Sara Goering, philosophy @uwartsci.bsky.social, researches Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs. In this episode of "Ways of Knowing," she discusses discusses the ethical concerns surrounding BCIs.

Holy moly. So thrilled & sincerely honored to learn that I’ve received a Presidential Early Career Award in Science & Engineering (PECASE). So thankful to my mentors, students, colleagues (and my wife!) who have supported me thru THICK & thin & made this possible. www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-up...

NYT continues its irresponsible normalizing of dangerous fringe ideas by mischaracterizing an analysis of fluoridation in other countries very different from the US (more on that in a sec) to suggest that fluoride harms people's brains. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/08/h...

amid all these socal fires and our ongoing drought, one thing we don't talk enough about is stewart & lynda resnick (via @motherjones.com) www.motherjones.com/environment/...

To celebrate the first day of winter quarter, I talked with @alexprybutok.bsky.social, assistant teaching professor of ChemE, about her journey to becoming a teaching professor and her work to explain the context behind the science in her classes.

Last month, I fell down an absolutely bizarre rabbit hole trying to figure out who was ripping off articles from Oregon journalists.

What I found was identity theft, plagiarism and an absolutely terrifying future for local journalism led by AI scammers.

My latest:

Such a fun video featuring the work of UW mechanical engineering professor Mo Malakooti and ME doctoral student Youngshang Han. Thanks Oregon Public Broadcasting!

Oh man... There are so many good ones, but I really like Lara Naki Gutmann's Squid Game, Chaeyeon Kim's Tron, Amber Glenn's This Time and of course Smart/Dieck's Dune.

The difference in scores for the top 5 women after the short program was unreal. 🤯

For my first post on this site, I'll share my recent Q&A with UW mechanical engineering professor Jie Xiao. She told me all about batteries and how academia can help support the growing domestic battery manufacturing industry. 🔋
