Chased down by clouds yesterday and had to Uber home from KLOT. Good to be back in the air.

Of course it works and now we all take a week off!?! @EmilyMikeska @KravchukChem

[Richard Wilson @Heavy_Elements]

Taking a closer look at some chemistry…or micromanaging 🤷‍♂️@KravchukChem and @EmilyMikeska

Redox chemistry of high-valent transuranic elements in non-aqueous media has received far less attention than it deserves. Our latest study on electrochemistry of Np(VI)/Np(V) in organic media is out now in @DaltonTrans | https://t.co/K7m3eIUgdX
