At the end of Pride Month, we can take pride that our @AmerChemSociety takes a strong stance on #DEI. And yet we still continue to have Natl Meetings in states that threaten the safety and well-being of our LGBTQ+, Black, and women members? Let’s fix that! #ACS_DEIR #ACS_Pride

Ted Brown—my colleague, my coauthor, my role model in so many ways, and, most of all, my friend. Prof Emeritus @UofIllinois and became Founding Director of @BeckmanInst . Ted’s influence on chemical education and physical inorganic chemistry are awe-inspiring. #chemistry

After she died — and just a year after her discovery — another scientist took credit for her work. It would be more than half a century until her story resurfaced.

Thank you ⁦@musicworcester⁩ for an amazing weekend with the incomparable Itzhak Perlman, who I first heard in Madison in the 70s and still produces fire from his fingers and bow. “An Evening With Itzhak Perlman” was so very special and wonderful! ⁦@PerlmanOfficial⁩

Very disappointed in this decision by @AmerChemSociety. As much as I miss my colleagues, I will not attend a meeting in a state that is actively disenfranchising voters. A missed opportunity to stand against #VoterSuppression. #DEI #diversity acs.org/content/acs/en/press… – at Worcester, MA
