This research compares ionic polymers to dancers on a crowded floor. When molecular rotation and movement are restricted, viscosity rises and electrical conductivity drops. Using physics-based simulations, the study shows how molecular size and freedom of rotation control material performance, helping guide the design of safer, more efficient batteries.

My research examines how OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) role-play simulations help prepare nurse-practitioner students for real-world primary care. Interviews with recent graduates show role plays build confidence, teach communication and clinical routines, and improve readiness for complex cases. Following best-practice guidelines enhances learning. Expanding these simulations could strengthen primary care, especially in underserved rural areas.
