⁦Gassensmith Lab⁩ gets Day 2 of our MRS session in Boston off to a great start.

And, the always dynamic ⁦ali trabolsi⁩ ends our MRS session with COF-based drug targeting.

⁦Zachariah A Page⁩ gives an “illuminating” talk at our MRS session on light-triggered printing, including exciting new work on soft materials (hydrogels). Can’t wait for the paper to appear!

After a lovely NACS meeting in NOLA, it is off to Shanghai and Beijing for a week+. It will be cold, but the science I see will surely be “hot”. The friendships equally warm. Happy holidays to all!

So honored to be feted with a celebratory dinner by Prof. Mei-Xian Wang in Beijing honor of my election as a Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This was a nomination he led but which was assisted a very strong support team. I’m incredibly grateful! Happy New Year!

An honor to celebrate ⁦Shengqian Ma@UNT⁩ winning the Peter O’Donnell Award with ⁦Pam Padilla, PhD and ⁦UNT Department of Chemistry⁩ at the ⁦TAMEST⁩ 2024 banquet. So proud of you!

A pleasure to host ⁦MOFia⁩ as our ⁦UT Austin Chemistry⁩ inorganic speaker with guest ⁦Shengqian Ma@UNT⁩. So inspirational and great fun!

We mourn the untimely passing of Prof. Atanu Jana. Over a decade ago he helped set up a joint lab at Yonsei University (Seoul) with me and Dongho Kim. The picture shows the culmination of a hike in that era. He repeated this task later at Shanghai Univ. He is sorely missed. RIP!

With Denise (a white sock lawyer) it is off to the ⁦National Academy of Sciences⁩ meeting. Looking forward to honoring the new inductees (congrats again!) and meeting many friends in Washington D.C.

After giving a final and enjoying a spectacular ⁦austinopera⁩ performance of Carmen, it is off to Hangzhou vis Shanghai for the ⁦ISMSC2024⁩ ⁦Team ISMSC⁩ meeting. Excited for great science and a chance to meet and make so many friends.

An honor to give a Stoddart Family award address ⁦ISMSC2024⁩ ⁦and explain 3-component electron transfer with a juggling act. Thanks to ⁦Fraser Stoddart⁩ for making this award possible and inspiring us! He was awarded a “game ball” afterwards. Prof. Feihe Huang too.

Amazing birthday symposium and cake co-organized by Texas Exes, Xiaolong Sun and Huacheng Zhang. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude to them and all the former coworkers and friends who made it possible. An extra thanks to Denise and Atsuhiro who made the event extra special.

Heading home to Austin from Xi’an, a final China tour stop that featured a spectacular visit to the Terracotta Warriors with ⁦Yuanning Feng⁩, Prof. Osuka, Huacheng Zhang, ⁦Yanli Zhao⁩ and other friends. Long, fun trip!
