I was an invited guest and recognized as a member of the Chemical Society of Washington executive committee at the @acs.org 150th Anniversary. It was great seeing ACS President @everywherechem.bsky.social along with many others at this impactful and wonderful celebration. #ACS150

A nice article on my laboratory research student Daniel Coughlin. It showcases some of the great work that our student-athletes do in athletics and research and how the two are interconnected such as with endorphin-related research in this case.

Varsity swim captain Daniel Coughlin (MS Biology ’26) starts his days in the pool—and brings that drive to the lab. As co-author in Bioelectrochemistry, he helped achieve real-time detection of endorphins, advancing research on the science behind a runner’s high. www.american.edu/cas/news/dan...
