Congratulations to Dr. George Margoutidis on his paper in press in the journal Cellulose. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10570-021-03679-z It describes solubility studies performed on chitin (a carbohydrate isolated from crab and shrimp shells). Dr. Margoutidis graduated from Dr. Kerton's group in 2019 and is now working for a biodiesel company.

Congratulations to Monther Zreid and Zahra A. Tabasi in Prof. Zhao's group on their recent research results on non-covalent interactions in pyrene and related molecules. This work has just been published in Journal of Physical Organic Chemistry https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/poc.4192
