Many thanks to Wei Zhao, Minhaeng Cho, Junrong Zheng, and Jeff Davis for organizing the Recent Advances in Coherent Multidimensional Spectroscopy symposium at Pacifichem this year, and for the invitation to share our work. It was great to have a chance to tell people about Zach, Laura, and Aine’s recent work studying the thermal annealing of squaraine films.
