We are participating in #ISNA20 just getting started at Toronto!

Prof Ito enjoyed giving a lecture on the second day of #ISNA20. Now we can relax and focus more on other letures and posters on exciting aromatic molecules!

Had a great post #ISNA20 meeting at Boston with Robert J. Gilliard, Jr. and Carlos Romero-Nieto. Can't wait to visit to MIT tomorrow.

Very thankful with Robert Robert J. Gilliard, Jr. for hosting me at MIT 🙏. Fantastic host, very nice person and a amazing scientist 🤗. Thank you so much for everything Robert! 🙏 Tomorrow, Harvard 🥳
