Trinity climbed 13 spots to No. 49 nationally and moved from No. 3 to No. 2 in Texas in WalletHub’s 2027 College & University Rankings. bit.ly/4s3ItIY
This won’t matter much for the elite grad schools that the Trump Admin wants to punish, but for PhD programs at like UT San Antonio or UC Merced this will really hurt. The fallacy here is that there are American students being excluded from PhD programs because of international
The Trump administration released a proposed rule that will have recent graduates pay a $70,000 application fee to participate in optional practical training, a popular work program for recent international graduates. The steep fees may keep many students away from OPT. chroni.cl/4zgMaxe
Wow… San Antonio is using its limited law enforcement resources to conduct undercover busts for 2 grams of #THC wax

@Trinity_U has one of the highest success rates in our Welch Foundation Research Grants program. A common misconception is that the Foundation only funds research at large R1 institutions, but Trinity continues to demonstrate that outstanding science happens everywhere. Professors Christina Cooley @CCooleyChem, Rebecca Rapf and Aaron Harrison @AaronWHarrison's success highlights the strength of innovative research at smaller PUIs and R2 universities alike.

I think our matching blue lab coats really sealed the deal. Big thanks to @WelchFoundation and @Trinity_U for their support!
Three Trinity chemistry professors have secured more than $1 million in new funding from the @WelchFoundation to support research with potential real-world impacts ranging from atmospheric aerosols to therapies for cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. pulse.ly/bew8gkmluz
Hemp-derived THC products are federally legal, for now. A chemist describes the different THC forms these products can contain and the legal restrictions placed on them.

This @cenmag article is about a chemistry researcher named Hitler Louis with a comment by his co-author Innocent Benjamin… these can’t be real people right?
Excited to share my new publication in @ACSEarthSpace :

Incredible honor to be a part of the #cottrellscholars community!
Members of all but four cohorts of #CottrellScholars since 1994 were in Tucson this week to welcome a new group of outstanding teacher-scholars to this special community. Congratulations!
About time Aaron’s got the recognition we deserve
You would think @joerogan would at least say something about #sb3 but…. crickets… What a waste of influence on a cause I know he cares about in our state. Not holding my breath but hopefully @GregAbbott_TX will veto this reefer madness THC ban.
