Congratulations to Qiaomu Yang Qiaomu Yang, Larry (Yu-Heng) Wang, and Yusen Qiao on publication of the group’s latest paper, out now Science Magazine! Wonderful collaboration with the Walsh group Penn Chemistry with key support from Vagelos Institute for Energy Science and Technolog! science.sciencemag.org/content/372/65…

I’d add that your own bookshelf should be as well.

After a year of essentially not leaving the house and spending most of my time talking to a baby, Swarthmore College summer session is going to start in person on June 1. May the students have patience with me...

I'm teaching a seminar focused on organometallic chemistry this coming fall. I'd like a list of applications of organometallic chemistry to give to the students to draw from for their independent projects. What are some topics that should be included?

I took Tehshik Yoon 's advice and didn't read the comments, not that anything there would shock me.

This headline from a paper in Australia.

Black people do not need to be excellent to be worthy of love.

I took a birth control pill for over a decade because our patriarchal society has decided women primarily bear the brunt of family planning. I’m familiar with the risk of blood clots. Give me any available vaccine. And make a male birth control pill please.

Let’s normalize Black children being seen as children

Thank you J&J!

This might be nitpicky, but I'm really salty about one of my GRFP reviews.

One of the reviews had a sentence that said 'despite coming from a PUI... this applicant exhibits...'

Framing my undergrad training at a Hispanic Serving PUI as a deficit is not ok with with.

reminder that everyone is still doing a mediocre job at everything right now and that includes you, and you should continue to gauge your expectations accordingly

Showing anti-racist support for our Asian colleagues and friends needs to be coupled with learning (and using) the names of the Asian PIs in your field. Enough with the “some Chinese group” type comments in talks.

Relevant to this article, I note without surprise that at least one pharma company that refused to hire F1-visa-holding Chinese chemists this past cycle has been tweeting support for its Asian and Asian American employees, like we weren't paying attention. science.sciencemag.org/content/372/65…
