Megan visits Cermav at the French National Centre for Scientific Research in Grenoble. Here she spent lots of time with big magnets and exchanged on research ideas for two weeks before returning to UBC inspired by all she learned!
March 2024
Much fun was had with new friends and old at ACS Spring 2024 in New Orleans where Megan gave new presentations in the CELL Division on the preparation of oligosaccharide surface modifiers as well as the spray drying processes involved in making oat oil powders stabilized by nanocellulose. These papers will be coming soon!
