Sharon is enjoying sabbatical. She had a great time visiting the Center for Computation and Theory of Soft Materials at Northwestern University, the Department of Materials Chemistry at Nagoya University, and enjoyed visiting the Chemical and Biological Engineering Department at Princeton University. She also gave invited talks at Temple University, NJIT, Lehigh and Stony Brook University. The group also attended the ACS meeting in Orlando, giving a total of five talks and one poster. Sharon gave an invited talk in the Peptide Materials Symposium in the ACS PMSE Division. Sharon is inspired and re-energized by all the great science she has seen so far on sabbatical. She thanks her hosts for their kindness and generosity.
