A nice end to my day in the UK. Published today.
My effort to amplify all that grad students and postdocs have done in recent weeks.
Keep up the great work.
For the good of the country, we must pay graduate student researchers a living wage theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

Unabashed celebrity selfie. UVic has been blessed to have the warmth and grace of @RogersShelagh as our Chancellor and nowhere has this been more apparent than at Convocation.
Convocation! On of the very best parts of my job. Congratulations Dr. Hong! @chemistryatuvic
So, on July 1 I will become Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the University of Victoria and I am STOKED.

“I can’t say enough about @DalhousieChem,” says Dr. Mammen. “The courses were amazing, and the professors...took genuine interest in making sure that the undergraduate population was not only educated but became interested in pursuing chemistry — which was the case for me.”
Dal Science alum, Dr. Mathai Mammen (BSc ’89), along with his global team of more than 13,000 scientists at Johnson & Johnson are responsible for the research and development of the single-shot Janssen COVID-19 vaccine: bit.ly/3cne8jj
