We are standing on the shoulders of giants, and Peter is one of them! I highly encourage @cenmag.bsky.social to feature Dr. Carlton as "people of ACS" @acs.org who has been a key supporter of young scientists -- mentoring, volunteering work, making contributions to the community 😀

Peter Carlton @petercarlton.bsky.social · Mar 23

Met up with these #CASFutureLeaders legends on my first day of #ACSSpring2025. Thanks for making me look like a giant, @chemfunman.bsky.social and @finetraces786.bsky.social!
