Hi #qoto #chemist #engineer #scientist #scicomm friends !! This instance has been blocked by several other instances because it has had some controversial takes. I am moving to mstdn.science :) Maybe I will see you there!

Hi! #introduction ! I am a #phd student in #chemistry in #vancouver ! I study #nanoparticle #liquidcrystal self-assembly, which has implications in our understandings of #biology nanostructures, #materials chemistry, and #nanotechnology

I’ve been #scicomm ing my #research live on #twitch where I am developing #3dprinting inks made from seaweed and other #biomaterials !

I also interview scientists weekly, so if you are ever interested, let me know! I’d love to have you as a guest!

I'm a PhD student obsessed with bio-based nanoparticles, so I'm trying my hand at 3D printing seaweed using at-home supplies. The troubleshooting is intense. Creating an at-home lab without funding is VERY HARD. Mashed seaweed was OK to print (with cellulose nanocrystals), but optimization? Yikes. Would love any tips !

Making the jump from Twitter and I wish I knew how to find #chemistry and other #womeninscience on Mastodon ! Hope I made the right server choice..
