What’s happening

Spring Break Sneak Peek Open House

Guest speakers Mia Gleason of Tule Publishing and Katie Reed of Andrea Hurst & Associates Literary Agency—both of whom are seeking undergraduate WSU student interns for Fall 2024–will share overviews of their respective roles in the publishing industry, then describe what an internship with their company might look like. Q&A to follow, and a sign-up sheet for interested students pursuing the Editing & Publishing Certificate and hoping to apply for internships will be provided.

Join us for an engaging 30-minute virtual introduction to SP3NW and discover how we support researchers in turning their innovations into real-world impact. Partnering with the Office of Commercialization, we can help turn your technologies into products and services through commercialization.

The conformation and rigidity of the backbone of organic macromolecules are pivotal factors determining the properties of these polymers, as well as their associated supramolecular assemblies and materials. For instance, when designing and synthesizing conjugated polymers for electronic and optical applications, a primary objective is often to achieve a rigid, coplanar molecular conformation. This can be realized by fusing the aromatic backbone building blocks into a ladder-type structure, thereby creating a conjugated ladder polymer.
