Congratulations, Eric!!

Thanks to all who have contributed to the work of the CSSM! Happy to share our Managing Director recognized.

Everyone deserves to live their life as their full and authentic self—free of fear, bigotry, & violence. Trans and gender-nonconforming individuals are part of the DOE family, and with them we mourn the lives lost and reject the darkness that would erase their light. #TDOR2022

Delighted to acknowledge the labs of George Schatz, Bart Lab, Wenqi Vince Liu, Prof. Jenifer Shafer, SchelterGroup, and Jonathan L Sessler and The Franklin Institute for their work putting together and testing the Hidden Treasures Experiment Outreach Videos that are live now! cssm.upenn.edu/public-outreac…

Congratulations to Bart Lab, madeleine and Dr. Jerod Keiser, for their recent publication titled, 'Separation of Tellurium from Metal Chalcogenides Through Mild Anhydrous Chlorination' in Chem - A European Journal! Link here: …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

We are so proud of CSSM undergraduate, Sean Deresh, who was chosen as a student lecturer for Penn's Climate Week, sharing his experiences growing up in Puerto Rico and the importance of reversing climate change. Great work!

Congratulations to the team on winning the 2022 Anders Gustaf Ekeberg Tantalum Prize! Eric represented the @Pennchemistry Penn Arts & Sciences and Northwestern Chemistry NSF Center for Sustainable Separations of Metals team for the award talk this week at the TIC Annual Meeting this week in Geneva! Awesome conference trip to CERN too!

What a great time at the Soil SHOP this weekend, where community members came by to learn about what is in their soil and how to mitigate potential Pb exposures! Thanks to our partners The Franklin Institute for including us in the event and for their excellent energy!

We are so humbled to have been a very small part of the equation and unbelievably proud of the team at @StemPennPal for putting together an amazing set of events to bring together minoritized students to learn about grad school in STEM at Penn. Congratulations and thank you!

So excited to support this excellent initiative to bring diversity, equity and inclusion to Penn's STEM graduate programs! Can't wait for this event in October!

Congrats to @maxfurigay, Nikhil Chellam, Marta Guron, Juno Johnson, Sarah Bennett, Leighton O. Jones, Wenqi Vince Liu, George Schatz, SchelterGroup, Fraser Stoddart, Shane Galley, and Jenifer Shafer for a collaborative effort in promoting critical metals learning: scholarlyteacher.com/post/interdisc…!

Needles and Catalytic Converters: What do these items have in common? Platinum! Platinum is an expensive and important critical metal used in fine jewelry, as well as both of these items. Our friends NSF Center for Sustainable Separations of Metals work toward separating Pt sustainably: web.sas.upenn.edu/cssm-project/r…

As we head into assembling our last set of outreach kits (coming soon), we took some to appreciate our community and the supportive group of scientists we have. Thank you, Wenqi Vince Liu, Dr. Chong Liu, Dr. Andreas Stein, Ranadeb, Bobby, Jenn, Mallouk Lab, and SchelterGroup!
