Rob Knowles of Princeton Chemistry and Nathalie de Leon of Princeton Engineering publish in PNASNews this month: “Diamond surface functionalization via visible light–driven C–H activation for nanoscale quantum sensing.”

Congratulations to both labs. Paper: bit.ly/4cynWny

Congrats to Alice and Dave MacMillan Group for their latest in nature: “Couple-close construction of polycyclic rings from diradicals.”

Thinking about this guy today. (This is a really bad photo...but between the board and the toys on the table it has some character.
..enjoy). Miss you Grubbs...

Not everyday that you receive a hon. PhD and give a graduation speech to a full stadium. Thanks to Pres. Woodruff, Prof Jim McCusker and everyone at Michigan State for an amazing day. Most of all, best wishes MSU class of 2023. Go out and make your Spartan family proud! #GoGreen

Happy Nobel day to those who celebrate! From raiders stadium, big congratulations to all of the 2023 winners and all the people still dancing in City Hall.

David MacMillan in El País English Edition: “The problem we face isn’t that science is becoming more complex, it’s that scientists are struggling to explain what we do and why it’s important. If we don’t think about how to communicate, we lose everyone.”
