Wishing the happiest of birthdays to our very good friend Harry Gray, PhD, from all of us at the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation!

I'm presenting (some of) my postdoctoral research tomorrow in the Ultrafast/Nonlinear Spectroscopy symposium at SERMACS/SWRM. Come say hi! Manipulating the ligand-field dynamics of Cr(III) Tris(1,10-phenanthroline) via ligand functionalization - 2:15 pm in Nautilus C

Looking forward to visit a Rennes!

Use intramolecular electron transfer to make long-lived excited states out of short-lived LMCTs First Reactions article in ACS Central Science with @fncastellano.bsky.social, based on work by @ludotroian.bsky.social and @cadralab.bsky.social

Much of the Trump administration’s agenda for research is laid out in the 900-plus-page Project 2025. Nature examines science-related policies from Project 2025 that have already come to pass, and which ones might be on the horizon. 🧪

We're thrilled to announce that Postdoc Alexandra Barth from the Castellano Research Group has been selected for the prestigious Chemical Abstracts Service Future Leaders program! 🤩 #chempack @fncastellano.bsky.social @ncstate.bsky.social chemistry.sciences.ncsu.edu/2025/04/02/b...

Elon Musk bought and paid for Brad Schimel. That tells you all you need to know, Wisconsin. Vote Susan Crawford today.

Hearing from all corners of HHS this morning about a total bloodletting — firings of scientists, analysts and many more as delayed RIFs take effect. Many folks didn’t see early AM email and showed up, only to be turned away when badges didn’t work. Was sent this photo of long lines at one HHS site.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

After the most disastrous first month of any President in history, Trump will do everything he can to distract you tonight. He will try to convince you that culture war issues are important. None of these things lower gas prices, improve job numbers, or put food on the table. Don't take the bait.

Atlanta Fed forecasts a -2.8% GDP growth for this quarter. 4 weeks ago it was +3.9%. Trump owns this. bit.ly/3Ddsxim

#CouplonMusk paid about $250m to help Trump win the White House. He is getting access to the personal information of 334.9m Americans. And allegedly storing it on private servers. That is less than $1 per person. To sell America out. nymag.com/intelligence...

Hello! Just created an account on Bluesky. A chemist believing the power of molecules. Synthetic chemistry, molecular nanocarbon science, catalysis, and chemical biology. Be unique, go crazy, be happy!

This map shows how much NIH funding goes to your state. I used the info on my state when I called officials to ask them to push back against the freeze. And if I can do it when my senators are Katie Britt and Tommy Tuberville...well, I mean... www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...
