Trump Has Cut Science Funding to Its Lowest Level in Decades (Gift Article) The lag in funding extends far beyond D.E.I. initiatives, affecting almost every area of science: chemistry, computing, engineering, materials and more.

Outstanding presentation of the devastating cuts at NSF and their impact across multiple areas of scientific research and training. Angry at the impact now and in the long-term to US research. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

With nearly all of Harvard Chan School’s direct federal grants terminated, we are relying on philanthropy to power our research and support our educational programs. Every gift, regardless of size, advances our vision of health, dignity, and justice for every human. Support our work: hsph.me/whygive

Very thankful to our NSF grant for funding a talented post-bac researcher (Frida) working on photo-generated spin states and to Amherst College for supporting our awesome post-doc (Eunbyeol). Both made beautiful quantum dots recently on a bittersweet #fluorescencefriday

Tunable Spin Qubit Pairs in Quantum Dot–Molecule Conjugates Organic molecules and quantum dots (QDs) have both shown promise as materials that can host quantum bits (qubits). This is in part because of their synthetic tunability. The current work employs a com...

Excited to share our latest work on spin qubit pairs now out (open access!) in ACS Nano. Big thanks to Amherst College students Autumn, Frida, and Amisha and to our collaborators at Utah, UConn, LBL, and Argonne!
