Very disappointed in this decision by American Chemical Society. As much as I miss my colleagues, I will not attend a meeting in a state that is actively disenfranchising voters. A missed opportunity to stand against #VoterSuppression. #DEI #diversity acs.org/content/acs/en…
So proud of daughter Julia Bursten who is now officially an Associate Professor of Philosophy with tenure at University of Kentucky! Way to go, Associate Professor Bursten!! 👏👏 #Philosophy #PhilosophyOfScience #ProudDad
Happy September 21st! Earth, Wind & Fire is still so amazing to hear, and they remain the only group ever named after three of the four classical elements of matter! #DoYouRemember #EWF youtu.be/Gs069dndIYk
Two legends of modern #Inorganic #Chemistry — Harry Gray and Rich Eisenberg. Magnificent talk by Harry on 65th anniversary of ACSINORDivision! #ACSSpring2022
Seven giants of modern #Inorganic #Chemistry, per Harry Gray at 65th anniversary celebration of ACSINORDivision. #ACSSpring2022
Thank you Music Worcester for an amazing weekend with the incomparable Itzhak Perlman, who I first heard in Madison in the 70s and still produces fire from his fingers and bow. “An Evening With Itzhak Perlman” was so very special and wonderful! Itzhak Perlman

So thrilling! About to hear the @worcesterchorus perform the Verdi Requiem at Carnegie Hall! Music Worcester
Looks like we will have a Verdi Requiem fanfare from two boxes over Carnegie Hall! @worcesterchorus Music Worcester #carnegiehall #verdi
Four of our terrific @wpi students kicking off this important symposium sponsored by ackhistory, National Park Service, and ICCROM. They, of course, knocked it out of the park—great job! #nantucket #ClimateCrisis #resilience
Wonderful to see Sibrina Collins quoted in this article! Very proud of my terrific former student. #AliceBall #Chemistry #BlackChemists
Ted Brown—my colleague, my coauthor, my role model in so many ways, and, most of all, my friend. Prof Emeritus University of Illinois and became Founding Director of @BeckmanInst . Ted’s influence on chemical education and physical inorganic chemistry are awe-inspiring. #chemistry
At the end of Pride Month, we can take pride that our American Chemical Society takes a strong stance on #DEI. And yet we still continue to have Natl Meetings in states that threaten the safety and well-being of our LGBTQ+, Black, and women members? Let’s fix that! #ACS_DEIR #ACS_Pride
