[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The Catholic Church has consistently taught that each human life, from the moment of conception until natural death, is sacred and deserves to be protected. Indeed, the right to life is the very foundation of every other human right. For this reason, only when a society safeguards the sanctity of human life will it flourish and prosper.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

If the two disciples of Emmaus recognize Jesus when He breaks the bread for them, we too should recognize Him in this way. Not just in the Eucharist, but wherever there is a life that becomes broken bread, wherever someone makes a compassionate gift of themselves, like He did. With the grace of the Risen Christ, we can become this broken bread that transforms reality. #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 24:13–35) #ApostolicJourney #Angola

Our latest publication in Dalton Transactions shows that binucleated divanadium catalysts give improved activity in the aerobic cleavage of diols and lignin model compounds. Congrats Maxym and Simran!

Check out our latest work in Inorganic Chemistry. Dilithium complexes outperform simple lithium initiators in aldehyde polymerization. With a well-defined catalyst, we also report the first step-by-step mechanism for anionic polymerization of aldehydes.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In our time of mounting global tensions and conflicts, #Hiroshima and #Nagasaki stand as symbols of memory that urge us to reject the illusion of security founded on mutually assured destruction. Instead, we must forge a global ethic rooted in justice, fraternity and the common good. It is thus my prayer that this anniversary will serve as an invitation to the international community to renew its commitment to pursuing lasting peace for our whole human family, a peace that is unarmed and disarming.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Alarming news continues to emerge from the Middle East, especially from Iran. Against this tragic backdrop, which includes Israel and Palestine, people’s daily suffering, especially in Gaza and the other territories, where the need for adequate humanitarian aid is becoming increasingly urgent, risks being forgotten.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Today more than ever, humanity cries out and calls for peace. This is a cry that requires responsibility and reason, and it must not be drowned out by the din of weapons or the rhetoric that incites conflict. Every member of the international community has a moral responsibility to stop the tragedy of war before it becomes an irreparable chasm. There are no “distant” conflicts when human dignity is at stake.

@POTUS How is this holding bad actors responsible? I am sure that predatory colleges are more than happy to see taxpayers pay tuition for their students.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

My Administration is cancelling $6.1 billion in debt for 317,000 borrowers who attended the Art Institutes, an institution that falsified data and cheated borrowers.

This is the latest – but not the last – step to hold bad actors accountable and get relief to folks who need it.

Thanks to the NSF for supporting our work!

@chhendon For context, is this unusual weather for Oregon?

Nice job to my graduate student Lizhe He, on his first public oral presentation at the American Chemical Society Southwest Regional Meeting.
