@kurtilaszlo@J_A_C_S This was our mechanism problem at Haley/Jasti joint group meeting tonight! Brilliant work, Laszlo - I look forward to hearing more in October when I return home to my alma mater in Houston.
THIS ๐ โ DO IT if you can!!! I have attended every ISNA meeting since 1992 in Victoria, BC. Absolutely the BEST conference for all things related to aromaticity/conjugated molecules! A great community of scientists and I always learn fascinating new stuff every meeting.
ISNA-21 is this coming August 9-14th โ we hope you will join us in Beijing! Some important deadlines are coming up at the end of June:
1. Abstract submission
2. Early bird registration
Check out the website (https://t.co/otSO8i2HzE) and follow the links for all the details.
$65M recurring debt??? HOW did our overpaid administrators not see this train wreck coming?!?!? EVERY administrator should take an immediate 10% pay cut & every Dean/Provost/President a 20% cut. UO will be utterly decimated by this incompetence... #UOwe

Our manuscript on the redox activity and near-infrared optical properties of doubly boron-doped indenofluorenes (DBIF) is now published in @J_A_C_S (https://t.co/tAtzZJGUY6)! Colleen debuts the DB[2,1-b ]IF isomer and an unusual 19ฯ e- IF! #maingroup@DavidJDWilson
Decided this past weekend was time as garden beds 1 & 3 are fully plantedโtomatoes, peppers & eggplant in bed 1 and lettuce, fennel, tomatillo, garlic, bok choy & cherry tomatoes in bed 3. Bed 2 still a work in progress. Bok choy is delicious! #chemistswhogarden#chemistswhocook
Plants & more plantsโearly April and the "pre-garden" is going strong! Now waiting for it to be consistently >45 F/7 C at night before I stick them in the ground. That said, lettuces & other greens have already supplied my 1st full pot of 100% homegrown salad! #chemistswhogarden
Our paper about Donor-Acceptor Pentacene Analogues is finally online in Angewandte Chemie ๐
My sincere thanks to all co-authors for the great collaboration!

My god โ talk about air travel whiplash!!! Trip to ATL for ACS meeting = 5 min in EUG for security. Trip next to Germany for mini-symposium = 80 min in ATL security AND 110 min to clear customs in FRA. Flight home = 15 min total in FRA and 10 min total in DEN. WTF?!?!?
Proud "papa" moment in ATL before the start of the ACS meeting โ left is Asst Prof Jeremy Bard (Washington Coll) and right is Assoc Prof Blake Tresca (Kalamazoo Coll) โ could not be more proud of these two as alumni of the joint Haley/Johnson supramolecular chemistry project.
What a tremendous loss for the novel aromatics/hydrocarbon community. Henning welcomed me at ISNA-8 in Braunschweig in 1995 like a full-fledged colleague even though I was a young no-name assistant professor. That was the kind of person he was. RIP my friend โ you'll be missed!๐ข

A great organic chemist who had deeply cared about our communityโa true โmenschโโhas left us. Lives in Chemistry https://t.co/DBaasuTW4p lost a most insightful Advisory Board member who had enormously contributed to this endeavor from the beginning.
