Sophie Lin, who got her master degree this June from National Taiwan University, developed a series of LAlMe₂ complexes with bidentate amido-amine ligands for ring opening polymerization (ROP).

Here she depicts the surprising turns chemistry can take and her (of course exaggerated) life during master’s training. The title “Mess”ter is inspired by the word “master”.

… finally her training brings her closer to being a real master.
