Solution‐Like Water Transport Across Molecular to Macroscopic Length Scales in Crosslinked Poly(Ethylene Glycol Diacrylate) Networks With Tailored Sidechains

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 63, Issue 19, Page 3990-4002, 1 October 2025.
Cross‐linked PEGDA network microparticles are synthesized with spin labels to sense local water motion. From the nanoscale to the macroscale, PEGDA exhibits rapid, solution‐like water transport as measured by spectroscopic techniques. Addition of side chain chemistries further modulates local water diffusion.

Lipidomics‐Guided Ultrasound‐Assisted Ethanol Extraction of Avocado Pulp and Evaluation of Bioactive Properties

Journal of Food Science, Volume 90, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Avocados are a valuable source of lipids with potential applications in food, nutraceutical, and cosmetic products, all requiring food‐grade and environmentally friendly extraction methods. Though often enjoyed fresh, avocado pulp is also processed for oil.

Brown Grease as a Precursor to Polyol Monomer for Polyurethane Synthesis

ChemistrySelect, Volume 10, Issue 33, September 1, 2025.
In this study, we explore the functionalization of low‐value fats from brown grease via transesterification and the thiol‐ene reaction to afford polyol monomers capable of undergoing step‐growth polymerization to form polyurethanes (PUs). The capability of this two‐step functionalization process to develop copolymers from low‐value fats will provide a ...

Development and Validation of the Agency in Contraceptive Decisions Scale in Uganda and Nigeria

Studies in Family Planning, Volume 56, Issue 3, Page 655-675, September 2025.
Abstract To fill a gap in measures of empowered contraceptive decision‐making, we developed the Agency in Contraceptive Decisions Scale in Uganda and Nigeria. We developed an item pool drawing on the previously published Contraceptive Agency framework. We refined items through cognitive interviews (N = 80) and expert feedback and piloted a reduced item

Multi‐Mode Mechanochromic Responses from Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Elastomer Tubes of Uniform Sheath

Advanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 34, August 28, 2025.
The structural‐colored tube is created from cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers, exhibiting uniform color changes with high strain sensitivity upon extension and inflation. The color change occurs across multiple mechanochromic modes, highlighting the influence of molecular anisotropy and tubular geometry on strain sensitivity.

Factors influencing client recall of contraceptive counseling at community-based distribution events in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo

BMC Health Services Research, 2021
Background Clients must recall information from contraceptive counseling sessions to properly use their chosen method. Client recall in community-based settings is challenging given the public nature of these events and the presence of many potential ...

Guidance on the use of read‐across for chemical safety assessment in food and feed

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Read‐across is a method used in chemical risk assessment to predict the toxicological properties of a target substance by using data from structurally and mechanistically similar substances, known as source substances. EFSA's Scientific Committee has developed an approach for using read‐across in food and feed risk assessment.

Patient experiences switching from in‐clinic to self‐administration of injectable contraception in two Western US states

Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, Volume 56, Issue 4, Page 347-357, December 2024.
Abstract Objective We describe the experiences and preferences of women who switched from clinic‐administered intramuscular depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA‐IM) to self‐administered subcutaneous DMPA (DMPA‐SC) in the context of the COVID‐19 pandemic.

Women's Perspectives on the Unique Benefits and Challenges of Self‐Injectable Contraception: A Four‐Country In‐Depth Interview Study in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Studies in Family Planning, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 269-290, December 2024.
Abstract Implementing self‐injection (SI) of subcutaneous depot‐medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA‐SC) is a key self‐care strategy for sexual and reproductive health, but SI uptake remains low, and assertions about the potential of SI to increase women's control over contraceptive use lack evidence.
