Honored and excited to be part of this scientific community!

Come be my colleague!

Professor Alex Albaugh @alexalbaugh.com has a new paper on Catalytic Resonance Theory that I recommend checking out chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

We're sharing our latest work at AIChE 2025 and with pre-prints! Hear Ali on mechanically interlocked polymers on Mon. or read it (arxiv.org/abs/2506.13968), read our foray into catalysis (chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...), or hear me on WSU's ML for ChE class on Tues. and molecular motors on Wed.

we simply do not have a union anymore if the president is using troops from one state to invade others entirely on the basis of political disagreements

Happy Battle of Lake Erie Day to those who celebrate.

My god these guys are such spectacular morons gizmodo.com/billionaires...

one of the stranger phenomena in American life is that hate is supposed to flow in one direction (rural people get to hate urban people, Republicans get to hate Democrats) and if the hate goes the other way people pretend as if this is very upsetting.

Jason Stanley, philosopher and expert on fascism said “You know you're living in a fascist society when you're constantly going over in your head the reasons why YOU are safe.”

YOU WANNA SEE A DEAD BODY??? *This* is the NOW INFAMOUS "Footnote 12" that Jackson wrote. It basically tells Neil Gorsuch: "Fuck you as a staff, label, and motherfucking crew."

My electric car measures efficiency in miles per kilowatt-hour, which is a gross mix of imperial and metric. But there are some interesting comparisons and dimensional analysis with that.

We are looking forward day 1 of the 55th Midwest Theoretical Chemistry Conference at #wsuchemistry with Keynote speaker Paul Zimmerman! #MWTCC55 #compchem #ChemSky

In news from my hometown, a GOP mayor candidate was just arrested for DUI. He crashed into a house "to avoid a cat." Told the arresting officer he was drinking vodka 20 minutes prior and mentioned several times he is "going to be the mayor." Election is Tuesday. lebtown.com/2025/05/16/p...

Vandalism.

There is a developing aviation crisis in the United States. Newark Airport is in shambles, forcing the cancellations of hundreds of flights. Ground-traffic accidents are multiplying. A major disaster is only a matter of time. A functioning government would take emergency action to staff our

Oh my god, it’s me.

I’m not confident Europe can pick up the torch that the US is dropping. This €500 million over two years sounds good until you realize the NIH budget alone is $50,000 million per year.

Radical opinion of the day: on-street parking is a bad use of public land. Especially in extremely walkable places like @downtownroyaloak.bsky.social the space should be reserved for 15-minute parking, ride-share pickups, and handicap accessible spots.

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

Me at the beginning of the semester vs. me at the end of this semester.

Is there anything in the middle?

Save the date! The 55th Midwest Theoretical Chemistry Conference (#MWTCC55) will take place between May 29 and May 31, 2025, on the campus of Wayne State University in Detroit, MI. We are proud that this is the first time #wsuchemistry will host this event. #compchem #ChemSky

I created and taught a machine learning course for chemical engineers this semester. In my last lecture I cover ethical issues and I told a story about the connection between chemical physics, large language models, and copyright law. Read on if you want to know more!

Guys, you're still trying to replace FDR. I told you we can't do it, and we can't do it. Now, what we might be able to do is re-create him. Re-create him in the aggregate.

Starting a grant application: I’ve got a great idea! Finishing a grant application: I am the dumbest person on planet earth.

About fifty years ago, NASA strapped a message in a bottle to a rocket and flung it into the deep dark It wasn’t supposed to go this far, but it did. Long past its mission, it’s still out there so far away now that a simple hello takes a day to reach it, and another day to hear if it says hello back
