Now on my annual pilgrimage to Tucson. I’m looking forward to catching up with the Research Corporation for Science Advancement #CottrellScholar community. If you see me, let’s take a selfie, and post on your preferred social(s). In the end, I’ll report which one won the count!

We just finished our 13th Telluride Science biennial workshop on Chemical Dynamics in Complex Environments (Chem-DiCE). Hard to believe that we started 25 years ago! Many thanks to all the participants. Everyone was engaged. The science was awesome. And, I learned a lot.

Everyone in the succession plays a role. I chose to pursue the need to have us all make the case to our representatives. It’s in line with my ACS_First platform to have all of our members represent us to the world. More on this in my Comment in tomorrow’s C&EN 3/17 issue & in my Council remarks.
