I had a great visit to Holy Cross 4 months ago! Belated thanks to @drdre4000.bsky.social and all!

Got to listen to a great talk from @everywherechem.bsky.social today at AU

Many thanks to Dr. Rigoberto Hernandez @everywherechem.bsky.social @jhuartssciences.bsky.social Prof. and @acs.org President-Elect for presenting at our faculty seminar series today!

In Rigoberto Hernandez’s presidential year, he will focus on raising ACS’s impact globally, fostering belonging in the society, and advancing an ACS membership-for-life concept. cen.acs.org/acs-news/Rig... #chemsky 🧪 @everywherechem.bsky.social

Looking forward to to the second day of my visit to @holy_cross ... Join me at my seminar today at 2:00PM! @drdre4000.bsky.social

“thinking like a scientist also requires us to feel like a scientist [...] How do we broaden the ability to feel like a scientist when sharing the value of and passion for science with the public or other communities?" @cenmag @AmerChemSociety #POTACS cen.acs.org/acs-news/com...

Now on my annual pilgrimage to Tucson. I’m looking forward to catching up with the Research Corporation for Science Advancement #CottrellScholar community. If you see me, let’s take a selfie, and post on your preferred social(s). In the end, I’ll report which one won the count!

We just finished our 13th Telluride Science biennial workshop on Chemical Dynamics in Complex Environments (Chem-DiCE). Hard to believe that we started 25 years ago! Many thanks to all the participants. Everyone was engaged. The science was awesome. And, I learned a lot.

Great to collaborate with the Giraldo Lab and our CSN (@sustainablenano.bsky.social) team!

After 32 years, I finally had a chance to return to advancing Semiclassical Transition State Theory (SCTST). Check out our paper, just published in @JChemPhys (with Alex Popov!) @doescience #BESfunded doi.org/10.1063/5.02...

Listening to Morten Medal at #MARM He says that Chemistry is Everything, and I’m hoping that he would agree that it is Everywhere, too! @acs.org

Choose number 1 or 2. Which do you think better represents my evening?

Lucky to run into Pratyush Tiwary at today’s HPC Symposium at @jhuartssciences.bsky.social and JHU Engineering. Always great to ride on potential energy landscapes with him.

And, soon @francesarnold.bsky.social will be speaking…

Join me now at the board meeting about to hear from Frances Arnold, 2025 Priestley Medalist…

🔹 ACS president-elect Rigoberto Hernandez, @everywherechem.bsky.social, discusses science advocacy in his most recent Comment (an always important topic, but even more important today): cen.acs.org/acs-news/com...

Our science infrastructure needs your help so that we can continue to drive the innovation and translation that can help you and everyone around you be better tomorrow. @acs.org #POTACS

For #LongCovidAwarenessDay, C&EN looks at how the virus has transformed science and imagines what the next 5 years of COVID-19 might look like: cen.acs.org/pharmaceutic...

Let’s all celebrate chemistry #OutsideTheLab… Mike Ferguson does trivia, I enjoy taking peloton yoga and bike classes… What’s yours?

This (ACS' communications to its councilors*) was useful to me, including clicking through the ACS presidential succession and what they were saying. ACS President-Elect Hernandez' statement is most relevant: www.acs.org/about/govern... #chemsky ⚗️🧪 *full disclosure: I am one** ** lol of like 400

Enjoyed today’s visit at U. Buffalo Chemistry!

In case you saw a 404 error this weekend, please know that the page is still there!

I very much enjoyed engaging with the ACS Memphis Local Section last Thursday, and U. Memphis last Friday. Great students, members and colleagues! Pleased to have reason for optimism for the future of chemistry.

I was at the ACS Leadership Institute in Houston this past weekend. I was fortunate to engage with many volunteers and future leaders. I didn’t take many photos. Instead, I am happy to highlight their photos and experiences, such as this one from the aptly named Fun Man ( @chemfunman.bsky.social )

Catch me online in Singapore morning on 2/15/25. That will be Friday night in the US East Coast. #POTACS @amerchemsociety.bsky.social

The biggest draw in this event is to learn from the exciting sharing by @amerchemsociety.bsky.social President-Elect @everywherechem.bsky.social who has graciously accepted our invitation as the guest of honour. You can interact with him after his online talk and in this space @bsky.app

This past Thursday, OSTP released its second report on the Strategy for Sustainable Chemistry. I was honored to be invited to serve on a panel to celebrate their success, and discuss the relevance of the report to innovation and the chemical workforce. www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Were you, perhaps, hoping to hear what was said at the Sustainable Chemistry Stakeholder Event by the White House OSTP this past Thursday? Well, here’s your chance as it is posted at www.youtube.com/watch?v=16o6... My remarks are interspersed in the third panel in the last 40 minutes of the clip.

Congratulations to Dr. Yinong Zhao! He successfully defended his thesis today on "Elaborating Structure and Connectivity of Autonomous Computing Materials" He is the 17 PhD from the @hernandez_lab @sustainablenano.bsky.social @JHUChemistry @jhuartssciences.bsky.social

Congratulations to Dr. Yinhan Wang! He successfully defended his thesis today on "Dissipative Particle Dynamics Models of Protein, Lipid, and Nanoparticle Interactions" He is the 16th PhD from our group, but who’s counting. :-)

Sad to learn about the loss of David Yarkony. 💔 His book and giant legacy about conical intersections stays. He will be sorely missed. Rest in peace, David. 🥀 hub.jhu.edu/2024/11/26/d...

We've got a Chemistry Department starter pack! Comment here and we'll add your department in! #ChemSky 🧪

It is with deep sadness and regret that I share news of the loss of my colleague, David Yarkony. His deep insight and humor, among his many other attributes, will be missed. www.ruckfuneraltowson.com/obituary/dav...

Looking forward to today’s workshop at CCNY ITS... Garek Papoian, Rick Remsing, @vaikuntsuri.bsky.social, Glen Hocky and me, hosted by Seogjoo Jang... My talk on "Dynamics Through Non-Recrossing Dividing Surfaces, and on Coarse Grained Models” Join us on 34th St. itsatcuny.org/calendar/202...

Congratulations to CSN faculty member @everywherechem.bsky.social for being elected as the new president-elect for the American Chemical Society! Article in @cenmag.bsky.social at cen.acs.org/acs-news/gov...

I have made a ChemSky starter pack and am posting here to help boost visibility. This list is not exhaustive, but should hopefully help newcomers or rejoiners find some accounts and feeds to follow go.bsky.app/C9BtrLj

While I’m stuck at home with Covid, Daniela Kohen shared with me that I’m being spotted in one of the @carletoncollege.bsky.social Chemistry hallways, right next to her office. Anyone else have some-such hallway photos to share?

Found out today that American Chemical Society journals have agreements with many PUIs to waive open access fees. This may not seem like a huge deal to some but for us, a few thousand dollars goes a long way. Much appreciated! 🙌 #chemsky
