On Thursday, Ternya, our NanoBio REU student, presented her final poster on Expedited Development of Tablet Formulations. We loved having her here this summer and will miss her greatly, but cannot wait to see what the future holds for her! Best of luck Ternya!

Last week we got to go to the UGA Board of Visitors meeting and hear Dr Locklin and @KatherineShayne speak about how they are working to combat plastic pollution and also find biologically degradable alternatives for things like straws and coffee cups! Great talk & lots of fun!

We enjoyed participating in the ISMR conference last week held at UGA. There were a lot of great presentations and posters on polymers from renewable sources and ways to combat plastic pollution in a wide range of applications!
