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!
Our CSN team just after our big Reverse Site Visit presentation to NSF last week.
