While I congratulate all the 2025 NSF GRFP awardees on their achievements, it’s shocking to see that the # of awards is down >50% from prior years. This is a disgrace to our top young talent in science and technology. This program should be growing, not shrinking. www.nsfgrfp.org

New paper from my PhD with @professor-meh.bsky.social! We show a simple route to all-water multiple emulsions, via coacervation with a single(!) dense phase. Amid size/shape variance, we use ML to quantify trends in droplet structure with mixing condition, which diverge from classical W/O/W systems.
