Now on my annual pilgrimage to Tucson. I’m looking forward to catching up with the Research Corporation for Science Advancement #CottrellScholar community. If you see me, let’s take a selfie, and post on your preferred social(s). In the end, I’ll report which one won the count!
We just finished our 13th Telluride Science biennial workshop on Chemical Dynamics in Complex Environments (Chem-DiCE). Hard to believe that we started 25 years ago! Many thanks to all the participants. Everyone was engaged. The science was awesome. And, I learned a lot.
Great to collaborate with the Giraldo Lab and our CSN (@sustainablenano.bsky.social) team!
Sustainable Nano@sustainablenano.bsky.social · last yr.New paper just out by a great team of CSN collaborators! Plant biology, computational chemistry, synthetic chemistry, & analytical chemistry all working together to advance our understanding of nanoparticle-plant interactions - very important for advances in sustainable agriculture!
After 32 years, I finally had a chance to return to advancing Semiclassical Transition State Theory (SCTST). Check out our paper, just published in @JChemPhys (with Alex Popov!) @doescience #BESfunded doi.org/10.1063/5.02...
Semiclassical transition state theory through the lens of the restricted partition function
The wide adoption of transition state theory in resolving the rates of molecular processes relies on the simplification from reducing the formal and numerical e

Choose number 1 or 2. Which do you think better represents my evening?
Lucky to run into Pratyush Tiwary at today’s HPC Symposium at @jhuartssciences.bsky.social and JHU Engineering. Always great to ride on potential energy landscapes with him.
Join me now at the board meeting about to hear from Frances Arnold, 2025 Priestley Medalist…

Let’s all celebrate chemistry #OutsideTheLab… Mike Ferguson does trivia, I enjoy taking peloton yoga and bike classes… What’s yours?
C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News)@cenmag.bsky.social · last yr.When Mike Ferguson, an organic chemistry professor at the University of Oklahoma and member of the American Chemical Society, got a call last April to see if he wanted to be on Jeopardy!, his immediate response was, “Hell yes!” cen.acs.org/acs-news/Mik...
This (ACS' communications to its councilors*) was useful to me, including clicking through the ACS presidential succession and what they were saying. ACS President-Elect Hernandez' statement is most relevant: www.acs.org/about/govern... #chemsky ⚗️🧪 *full disclosure: I am one** ** lol of like 400

In case you saw a 404 error this weekend, please know that the page is still there!
American Chemical Society@acs.org · last yr.We know the link to our Inclusion & Belonging page was temporarily broken. It was meant to redirect to our new inclusion and belonging page, which aligns with the ACS strategic plan 2025-2029 released on Jan. 1. This has now been corrected, and you can access it here: www.acs.org/about/inclus...
I very much enjoyed engaging with the ACS Memphis Local Section last Thursday, and U. Memphis last Friday. Great students, members and colleagues! Pleased to have reason for optimism for the future of chemistry.
Nate DeYonker@de-lab.bsky.social · last yr.Our department, Memphis Local Section, and our student ACS org kicked off the semester with a visit from @everywherechem.bsky.social! A huge shot of positive vibes to keep me and the younger chemists I teach and work with inspired and motivated during dark and stressful times.
I was at the ACS Leadership Institute in Houston this past weekend. I was fortunate to engage with many volunteers and future leaders. I didn’t take many photos. Instead, I am happy to highlight their photos and experiences, such as this one from the aptly named Fun Man ( @chemfunman.bsky.social )
Fun Man Fung@chemfunman.bsky.social · 2y agoI’m privileged to participate in the ACS leadership Institute 2025 under the YCC Leadership Development Award. I am hearing our young ACS Singapore 🇸🇬 Chapter is doing quite well! ☺️ I made new friends and learned many lessons from fellow volunteers. @everywherechem.bsky.social @lauralmcc.bsky.social
Catch me online in Singapore morning on 2/15/25. That will be Friday night in the US East Coast. #POTACS @amerchemsociety.bsky.social
Fun Man Fung@chemfunman.bsky.social · 2y ago🚨 Reminder: Abstract Submission Deadline for ACS SG YC 2025 🚨 Calling all students, young scientists, and researchers in chemistry-related STEM fields! 🌟 @amerchemsociety.bsky.social Singapore Youth Challenge 2025 For more details, visit: 🔗 lnkd.in/gef7CNNc
The biggest draw in this event is to learn from the exciting sharing by @amerchemsociety.bsky.social President-Elect @everywherechem.bsky.social who has graciously accepted our invitation as the guest of honour. You can interact with him after his online talk and in this space @bsky.app
This past Thursday, OSTP released its second report on the Strategy for Sustainable Chemistry. I was honored to be invited to serve on a panel to celebrate their success, and discuss the relevance of the report to innovation and the chemical workforce. www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...
