It is such an honor to be elected to the AAASFellows. I explained to my parents it as the "Cool Scientists Club" and it is a treat to be among many greats. Much thanks is owed the wonderful mentors, students and colleagues I have worked with over the years.
AAAS is thrilled to announce our 2023 #AAASFellows! “This year’s class embodies scientific excellence, fosters trust in science throughout the communities they serve, and leads the next generation of scientists,” said AAAS CEO @sudipsparikh. Read more:

BEST RAFFLE WIN EVER. One of my freshman from last fall's writing course put my name in a faculty raffle, since he wasn't allowed to put in his own. I had no clue until I won! The fact that a student thought of me makes the prize so much sweeter! Thanks Joey! #givingday @vuartsci

Here is my latest editorial with @ChemMater on the "Rituals of Rejection" I do my best to tell the truth, but have a little laugh at the same time.

I’m leading @VanderbiltChem in learning CPR and AED. I’m getting older and I’ve got to make sure there are enough people around to save my butt!

Sure, @RaySchaak we'll write a "little" perspective on phase control for your new journal. 165 references and 18 pages later, it is more like our group's Magnum Opus. And it is open access for all to read, right after you finish War and Peace! .

A fundamental precept of chemistry is that properties are manifestations of the elements present and their arrangement in space. Controlling the arrangement of atoms in nanocrystals is not well...

I am considering resurrecting a 200 level "Nanochemistry" course that hasn't been taught for years. Anyone have a syllabus for a similar level course they'd let me see?.

Getting this TOC image (and Figure 2) published will go down as one of my greatest achievements. The science is pretty darn cool too. @VanderbiltChem.@VanderbiltVinse.

The identity and repeating arrangement of atoms determine the properties of all solids. Even combinations of two atoms can have multiple crystal structures of varying stoichiometries and symmetries...

This paper got the best reviewer comments I've ever had. This is what happens when you have students with amazing attention to detail.

Techniques are well established for the control of nanoparticle shape and size in colloidal synthesis, but very little is understood about precursor interactions and their effects on the resultant...

My first trip to Chicago ever will be for the ACS next week. If I sneak away to do one touristy thing, what should I do?.
