- Look’s like our synthesis was reproducible!! Tad (left) and Maddie (right) both at ~1 month. Kids are just so cool 😎
- Tenure package submitted!!!! So grateful for the amazing team of scientists who have helped me to build this amazing body of science. And to my family and husband who distracted the 3YO long enough for me to get it done!!!! #andnowwewait
- Today we celebrated Ellen being awarded the Marshall Gates Jr. Associate Professor of Chemistry!! We are so proud of her and are lucky to have her as our PI! She is the best 🤩🥳🤑
- Thrilled to report that Ellen will be promoted to FULL professor as of July 1st! Grateful to Matson Lab members past a present for the amazing science over the past decade - the best is yet to come! 🥳🥳🥳 (but seriously… stay tuned for some awesome stuff… 😂)
- Gentle reminder to those who aren't feeling so awesome about the GRFP results... I was rejected for the GRFP twice as a graduate student; don't let the outcome of this competition define your career trajectory - you will still do great science!!!
- The Matson Lab is looking for a postdoc to join our research team on a DOE-funded project focused on understanding the reactivity of actinides at the surface of redox-active metal oxides! For those interested, please contact Ellen (CV, cover letter, references)!! @Chemjobber
- Heading with my favorite travel buddy to the Inorganic Gordon Conference!!
- 🧵🧵🧵Today my NSF award “Synthesis and Reactivity of Oxygen-atom Vacancies in Molecular Vanadium Oxide Assemblies” was flagged for being too “woke”. 🧵🧵🧵
- The news is out!!! So excited to have the opportunity to study hydrogenation reactions at metal oxide surfaces with @James_McKone @Vero_Augustyn @mpourmpakis_lab and Ethan Crumlin!! Thanks @doescience for the support!!! energy.gov/articles/doe-a…
- The Matson Lab is looking for TWO postdoctoral researchers to join our team! We’re hiring synthetic inorganic chemists for both our actinide project (bonus points if you have experience in photochemical analysis) and our project focused on PCET at POM surfaces!
- Our very own actinide rockstar, Leyla Valerio, was named a recipient of the NSF GRFP!!! We are so proud of her 🥳🤩🥳🤩
- First year grad students killing it in lab!!!!!
