open access: yes, 2019
Conversations about sex start as early as middle school, with preteens learning about “the birds and the bees,” sexually transmitted infections, and (hopefully) contraception and safe sex.

Emerging Ta4C3 and Mo2Ti2C3 MXene Nanosheets for Ultrafast Photonics

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
The present study reports on the ultrafast nonlinear optical (NLO) response and carrier dynamics of two kinds of MXenes, namely Ta4C3Tx and ordered‐phase Mo2Ti2C3Tx. The Mo2Ti2C3Tx MXene is found to exhibit superior NLO response, surpassing all previously studied MXenes and other 2D nanomaterials.

Multi-site modelling and reconstruction of past extreme skew surges along the French Atlantic coast [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Appropriate modelling of extreme skew surges is crucial, particularly for coastal risk management. Our study focuses on modelling extreme skew surges along the French Atlantic coast, with a particular emphasis on investigating the extremal dependence structure between stations.

Challenging Homelessness

open access: yes, 2013
I had been homeless for about 28 hours. I sat on a sidewalk in Georgetown with a friend holding a cardboard sign that read, “Put a Smile on Our Faces” with a Dunkin Donuts cup at our feet.

High Fidelity Waveguides Through Vitreous Media Recomposition for Next Generation Photonic Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A newly designed aluminosilicate glass enables the fabrication of femtosecond laser‐written optical waveguides with ultra‐low propagation losses of −0.020 dB cm−1 at 1310 nm and −0.037 dB cm−1 at 1550 nm. Raman, Brillouin, and electron microscopy analyses reveal the mechanisms behind refractive index modifications, highlighting the role of glass ...

The First Year Frat Experience

open access: yes, 2019
It was September 14th and my three weeks were up. I had told myself I had three weeks to make friends. Three weeks before Greek life would dominate the social scene. Publicly, I decried the three week rule, writing it off as dumb or lame.
