freshly applied henna on both of my hands in a dark green color with a dark brown wooden floor background. The photos were taken two separate days and combined together in this image as both hands with freshly applied henna cannot be taken at the same time as I use one hand to apply henna to the other hand.

CSN All-hands Fall 2022 🎉

CSN All-hands Atlanta 2022 was a success! It was great seeing everyone in person! Huge thank-yous to everyone, especially those who helped with the planning! 🎉🎉🎉

Mini CSN reunion at the #acsspring2022 last week 🥳

Welcome to our newest CSN member, Lee! Lee is one of many kinds of nanomaterials that help improve our technology and consumer goods. Lee in particular has a helpful role in powering battery materials due to their nano-size. But what happens if Lee gets released into the environment? Check our Lifeology course (link in the bio) to learn about nanomaterials and the importance of recycling! Boundless thanks to @lifeologyapp and @elfylandstudios for helping us make Lee come to life!
