Our new paper provides a new proposed leading-order understanding of why nanoparticles reinforce rubber, potentially addressing a 100-year mystery. @PolymerPolymath @EngineeringUSF @USFResearch

Grateful to @TheScientistLLC for running a short “Postdoc Portrait” on my work in the Simmons Lab @USouthFlorida: modeling how nanoparticle-filled rubber gets tough, and why postdoc community-building matters.

Excellent read on findings of a survey of members on how APS can better respond to current crisis.

My office received a report that an international graduate student at the University of Minnesota was arrested by ICE officers on Thursday. We immediately contacted ICE to request information about the nature of this arrest. The University of Minnesota confirmed that they did not have any prior knowledge of or involvement in the arrest. My office is in communication with the individual’s counsel, the University of Minnesota, and other elected officials. I will provide updates as soon as I am able.
If you're at @APSphysics gps on Friday, you should join @materiologist and I for two back-to-back talks on our investigation of nanoscale toughening mechanisms in filled elastomers.
This is so devastating. After all of your hard work, you don't deserve this. I'm inspired by your ability to srsly reply to the idiots in the comments.
It's crazy that I tweeted this out when I got my green card interview. Still don't have a green card today, 9 months later...
I have spent 3 years in Florida without a driver's license and unable to register a car. My papers are legal. I have spent countless hours dealing with the DMV, multiple immigration lawyers, my car dealer, and USCIS. Literally no one gives a shit.

Per @darbysaxbe, from a program officer at the National Science Foundation, federal grants can now be pulled for containing any of these keywords. Absurd and dangerous
