Great recognition for Paul Oftedahl from Julia Zaikina’s group at Iowa State University, who received the best poster award at the 23rd International Symposium on Boron, Borides and Related Materials, Riversides (CA), for the work that he performed in collaboration with our team. Paul stayed in our Paris team for 6 months and developed electrocatalytic studies on borides. We are thankful for the French Ambassy in the USA for granting a Chateaubriand fellowship to Paul to make his stay possible.
