I hate teaching at @Columbia. You finally sneak an achievement into the faculty news roundup and the guy next to you in the alphabet wins the Nobel.
It was so nice to host @KunyuWang_Chem at SMU today with @chemchen9 .. I first met Kunyu when he was a final year grad student @ Texas A& M .. so especially excited for him as he starts his independent career at University of Miami this Spring..
Such a cool story.. super cool chem as well :)

Hey glovebox experts! Is a dew point of −60 °C still too high for synthesizing highly reactive, low-coordinate species in a newly installed glovebox? We’re seeing a clear boundary. Some compounds still work, while others fail. Unfortunately, we need both! Solvents are great BTW.
Replying to @SMUDedman
@SMUDedman College professor and historian Ariel Ron has received the 2026 MacArthur Fellowship from @macfound — one of the most prestigious international honors, recognizing exceptional creativity and accomplishment!
One of just 20 recipients, Ron receives the $800,000 “genius grant” for his research on 19th-century U.S. politics, agriculture and economic development.
Congratulations, @arielronid!!

Yes, this is super cool! Come visit if possible..some pics from today.. :)
Amid a drought, the Dinosaur Valley State Park has discovered dinosaur footprints that have historically been covered by water and sediment.
They date back more than 113 million years. abcn.ws/3PKZpPx
