In 1998, Pierre and I were headed to the ICCC (Coordination Chemistry) in Florence. En route from France to Italy, we got engaged (planned). We stayed in the student residence for the conference. All showers and toilets were single stall in a large room. All genders. No one cared. It was normal.

PBS News@pbsnews.org · 6d agoThe State Department said it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted.

trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry
Congrats to my student mentee, Ananthu, for this terrific publication in @jacs.acspublications.org on synthetic modeling of Mo-dependent C–H hydroxylases! It is also a landmark for my lab, as it marks our 100th paper since we started @uic-chemistry.bsky.social in 2012! pubs.acs.org/jacsat/artic...
