Thought I wanted to be a doctor. Pointed out to my girlfriend I didn’t like dealing w/ unhappy people, & she astutely noted “sick people are unhappy.” Next semester took organic chemistry & realized I could discover medicines to help human health & not deal w/ patients. Never looked back!

@espnbillc.bsky.social As we anxiously await your book, your returning production numbers have disappeared from the ESPN page that last discussed them. Any chance you could provide a link to those as we count down the days to the 2025 season? Pretty please?

Every word of this is important. And “most” is kind of understated.
Important message. Also important to remember that federal funding for science isn’t “given” to university laboratories - it is awarded based on highly competitive process, profs spend months/years on proposals that are reviewed by experts, most are rejected.

Just saw the news that both Jon Ellman and Richmond Sarpong (@sarponggroup.bsky.social) were elected into the National Academy of Sciences and I couldn't be happier for either of these well deserved honors - congratulations!

Amos B. Smith III (1944-2025) | Department of Chemistry
We are deeply saddened to announce that our friend and colleague Amos B. Smith III, Emeritus Professor of Chemistry, has passed away. Amos received both his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Chemistry from Bucknell University in 1966 and his Ph.D. from The Rockefeller University (with William C. Agostain) in 1972. He joined Penn in 1973 (along with a joint appointment at the Monell Chemical Senses Center). Amos was a mainstay in our organic chemistry division and recently celebrated 50 years of service to Penn. He also served as Department Chair from 1988 to 1996.
