Now out in Chem. Sci., 15 years of chemistry distilled down to 22 pages – my group's magnum opus. Great job by Efrain, Gabby & Josh! Many thanks to @aromaticist.bsky.social, @judywuchem.bsky.social, Juan Casado, Carlos Gomez-Garcia & myriad other collaborators. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... #pisky

Now in @jacs.acspublications.org Sharing Francisco’s new work on modulating the thermal isomerization mechanisms of photoswitching azoarenes. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Spent time with this lady this morning. Thursday portrait. ✍🏻

Sharing new work. Now on @ChemicalScience on how geminal hyperconjugation affects heavy-atom tunneling! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

The universe reminds me that I forgot to response to an email about pyrene. Wednesday 200. 🎾

Weekend values drill. ✍🏻

Bye bye Skye. 🩵 The views were sublime, but I ran out of time. So I waved to the sheep, “Goodbye!”

Morning hike at the Old Man of Storr today. Coming back just in time for a wee haggis pie for lunch.

Amazing Skye.

Leaving London and off to the Highlands—ending London with a puppy cuteness explosion! 💥❤️🥰🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶

Discourse: Celebrating 200 Years of Benzene—From Whale Oil to Aromaticity now on YouTube 😊😊😊 www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGNK...

Blandford Street house 48. Excellent sandwiches today vs. excellent book binding in 1800. Tracing Faraday’s footsteps around Marylbone London.

Happy 200 year birthday, 🎂 benzene! Enjoyed my time with cool people at the Ri this evening. @ri-science.bsky.social

Thank you Malcolm and Kathy for an amazing PhysOrg #GRC2025 conference! Besides cool science, the wonderful people and kindness in this community is why PhysOrg GRC always has a special place in my heart.❤️ 🙌👊🏼 Igor and I will do our best for 2027!

Summer travels begin! It’s you and me now for the next four weeks, Paxi. First stop—going into the mountains and exercising the power vested in me. 🏔️ 💒

Saturday Dalmatians. Spots!

Rainy morning. No tennis 🎾 Ready for writing day after a little warm up. ✍🏻

Happy hump day. Bunnies and watercolor. 🐰🐰🐰

Super proud of my postdoc Francisco Martins for being selected to attend the 74th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting dedicated to Chemistry! 🎉🎉#LINO25 Enjoy your trip to Lindau Francisco! It’s gonna be awesome!👏👏👏

Sharing our new work on how heteroatom dopping affects the antiaromaticity of expanded s-indacenes. 🎈 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
