AWESOME 5 days in Houston—gave seminars at UHouston & Rice—THANKS to @JudyWuChem & Raul Hernandez-Sanchez for hosting. Both places are doing great chemistry! Biggest shock was that daughter of neighbors in Tulsa where I grew up is in Rice Development Office—SO great to catch up!

The gigantic, brand new @united lounge in Terminal B at IAH rocks! Great food options and tons of space - you can even go outdoors overlooking the tarmac. Please let SFO be next???

@cljdcl @RJGilliard @gilliardgroup Let’s not forget who got you to the US in the first place! I am so very proud and happy for you, Chunlin! With roughly 20 papers between your time with Robert and with Darren/me, I have ZERO doubt that you will kick some a$$ in the Y-lab!

Lunch of champions! Salad caprese w/ toasted prosciutto & a glass of gemischter satz from @brookswinery = delicious! Sadly, not too many days left this fall to enjoy such bounty I fear, but we shall see! Weather forecast for next ~10 days suggests no cool down until next weekend.

@Aromaticist Thanks - doing WAY better today! Still pooped and lethargic, but no signs of discomfort, unlike the whimpering of yesterday. He's out back enjoying the sun since it is 24 C/75 F here.

Long, long day today as my little man had a serious operation. A scary growth near his dog reproductive parts needed removal. Surgery was successful but he is none too pleased with the discomfort and pain. Two bowls of kibble with steak mixed in were an appropriate distraction!

@rossbiology Seriously?

[Michael Haley - UOregon Chemistry @UOHaleyLab]

Dear Professor Haley,
We are inviting you to review "Extracranial Metastatic & Locally Invasive Meningioma: Clinicopathologic Features in a Nine-Patient Case Series" by XX, which has been submitted to Cancer Reports for consideration.

Seriously? I do cancer research? Since when?

@IAlabugin 25 pages??? That's a beast, Igor - VERY, very cool chemistry! I've never heard of INO3 before. I see you all make it from scratch. How bad/toxic/explosive/etc. is it?

[Michael Haley - UOregon Chemistry @UOHaleyLab]

One of my favorite fall snacks on the weekend - homegrown jalapeños stuffed with Oregon Dungeness crab and Parmesan cheese! YUMMY!!! #chemistswhocook

@StawskiWojtek @GawelPrzemyslaw @ChemistryWorld Not worth it on my end. My June 18th tweet still stands – this area of research is BS. Unless these folks get a solid state 13C NMR showing convincingly two sp and one sp3 carbon resonances, all of this is ChemDraw smoke and mirrors...

[Michael Haley - UOregon Chemistry @UOHaleyLab]

@GawelPrzemyslaw @StawskiWojtek @ChemistryWorld I didn't get it! Nor was I asked.

[Michael Haley - UOregon Chemistry @UOHaleyLab]

@michal_juricek Sadly, not this time; otherwise, I would have stopped by! Currently in München flughafen to fly home in 2.5 hours. Back to reality….

[Michael Haley - UOregon Chemistry @UOHaleyLab]

Salzburg - what a beautiful place!

[Michael Haley - UOregon Chemistry @UOHaleyLab]

Hello Salzburg!

[Michael Haley - UOregon Chemistry @UOHaleyLab]

Great time in Vienna! Many thanks to Davide Bonifazi for a wein hike this afternoon in the hills surrounding the city. 20000+ steps & I am pooped! Weather was threatening all afternoon but barely a drop fell from the sky. Good thing as the wein hut we stopped at had no umbrellas

[Michael Haley - UOregon Chemistry @UOHaleyLab]

@PhysOrgChem_MU ISNA-22 in Prague in July 2028 for sure! I’ve never been to Brno, so that would/could be a possibility?

[Michael Haley - UOregon Chemistry @UOHaleyLab]

More random photos of Budapest. Next stop - Vienna!

[Michael Haley - UOregon Chemistry @UOHaleyLab]

Various scenes from Budapest - a surprisingly beautiful (to me at least) city! Soooooo much culture and architecture. While I did not know what to expect, it has far exceeded expectations. Some 16,000 steps and multiple tram/Uber rides today, and I am completely POOPED!!!
