Enjoy “getting better” a year from now Z! ;)

I love every bit of this back and forth

Should I read this? 🤔

I went into a game stop for the first time in forever and it was actually good(?)

#ChemSky #ACSFall2025 Huge thank you to Prof. Isaiah Speight, Prof. Kensha Clark, and Prof. Davita Watkins for organizing this amazing lineup of impressive speakers. Hosted by organicdivision.org POLY and INOR. Thank you to ACS President Dr. Phillips for elevating this to a Presidential Symposium

Brilliant - congrats!

Hell yeah- congrats Needhi!
