Flying home after a great visit with my “boss”, Jean-Marie Lehn and the very impressive Equipe Isis. So inspirational!
Off to Japan with Denise for the big porphyrin meeting in Kyoto. The socks were a gift from her. Hmm…
Flying home after a lovely time at Pacifichem. I really enjoyed the anion recognition and AIE sessions. A delight to reconnect with old friends and make new ones.
Happy holidays to all.
PS socks are from an Oahu Blue Hawaii helicopter tour. Spectacular.
Flying home from Odense via Copenhagen, Heathrow, and Dallas. Good to be back sharing my socks adventures!
Heading home to Austin from Xi’an, a final China tour stop that featured a spectacular visit to the Terracotta Warriors with @YuanningFeng, Prof. Osuka, Huacheng Zhang, @ntuzhaoyanli and other friends. Long, fun trip!
Amazing birthday symposium and cake co-organized by Texas Exes, Xiaolong Sun and Huacheng Zhang. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude to them and all the former coworkers and friends who made it possible. An extra thanks to Denise and Atsuhiro who made the event extra special.
An honor to give a Stoddart Family award address @ismsc2024 and explain 3-component electron transfer with a juggling act. Thanks to @sirfrasersays for making this award possible and inspiring us! He was awarded a “game ball” afterwards. Prof. Feihe Huang too.
After giving a final and enjoying a spectacular @AustinOpera performance of Carmen, it is off to Hangzhou vis Shanghai for the @ismsc2024 @TeamISMSC meeting. Excited for great science and a chance to meet and make so many friends.
With Denise (a white sock lawyer) it is off to the @theNASciences meeting. Looking forward to honoring the new inductees (congrats again!) and meeting many friends in Washington D.C.
We mourn the untimely passing of Prof. Atanu Jana. Over a decade ago he helped set up a joint lab at Yonsei University (Seoul) with me and Dongho Kim. The picture shows the culmination of a hike in that era. He repeated this task later at Shanghai Univ. He is sorely missed. RIP!
A pleasure to host @OmarFarha5 as our @UTChemistry inorganic speaker with guest @shengqianma. So inspirational and great fun!
An honor to celebrate @shengqianma winning the Peter O’Donnell Award with @PamLovesScience and @UNTChemistry at the @TAMESTX 2024 banquet. So proud of you!
So honored to be feted with a celebratory dinner by Prof. Mei-Xian Wang in Beijing honor of my election as a Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This was a nomination he led but which was assisted a very strong support team. I’m incredibly grateful! Happy New Year!
After a lovely NACS meeting in NOLA, it is off to Shanghai and Beijing for a week+. It will be cold, but the science I see will surely be “hot”. The friendships equally warm. Happy holidays to all!
@zakpage gives an “illuminating” talk at our MRS session on light-triggered printing, including exciting new work on soft materials (hydrogels). Can’t wait for the paper to appear!
And, the always dynamic @TrabolsiAli ends our MRS session with COF-based drug targeting.
@Gassensmith gets Day 2 of our MRS session in Boston off to a great start.
