Fall ACS: Epic Tweet-up

Kudos to all who braved the blinding snow searing heat one-mile walk to Lucky's Lounge last night for the biggest ACS tweet-up on record (at least among the few I've attended!).

Folks I remember dropping by include:
N.B. Please toss me your name in the comments if I've inadvertently left you out!

@Dichtel, fresh off his Kavli lecture success
@SuperScienceGrl, our fierce vegetarian
@stephengdavey, Nature editor
@CrimsonAlkemist, polymers guy in sharp shirt
@DrRubidium, Communicator, Forensicist, superstar
@ChemProfCramer, needs no introduction to this crowd
Jeff Seeman, chemical historian extraordinaire
@curiouswavefn, molecular modeler and chief organizer

@sciencegeist, professor and blog stalwart

@Free_Radical1, nice dude from DE

@UnstableIsotope, polymer chemist and sometimes spider-kitten

@gagliardi8, Modeler and fellow Italian

@petercarlton, keeps CAS social media in line. Also, Dungeness crabs.

@CMcCinDC, looks like Derek Lowe. Nice tie!

@Waghornscience, ACS videos star

@laurenkwolf, (also) famous for ACS vids and, y'know, editing, too!

@amandayarnell, (see above). Too popular.
@CHADNANO, Nano-ink Prof at NW
@MurphysLab, polymer defects, live from Canada
@barneygrubbs, the nicest, tallest tweep you'll meet
@JuliaKalow, MIT wunderkind
@katmatcher, another MIT wunderkind who helped vet reactions!
@CEN_Onion, secret secret, I got a secret (and no, he's not me)
@JamesBatteas, TAMU 2D polymer champ
@GriceChemistry, super-nice wrangler of undergrad research group

Thanks to all for a great night out!

JLC at ACS Boston Next Week!

Still creepy.
Thanks, Carmen.

Excited as always to learn some new chemistry and stalk the Exhibition Hall at the 2015 ACS Fall Meeting.

I'll live-tweet a bit using the #ACSBoston hashtag. If you see anyone dressed like this (right), be sure to run the other way...

Looking forward to seeing some of you there!

UPDATE (15 Aug): From the shameless self-promotion desk, this request - if you're stalking the poster sessions or oral presentations, and you hear someone say "...and I'm so glad to be a new member of the faculty at Big State University!"

Please take a moment to jot that person's name down, and compare it against our ongoing collection. I'm willing to bet, ACS National Meetings being the social hotbeds they are, that a few faculty moves have slipped under the radar...

UPDATE 2: I hear tell that there's a tweet-up planned for Monday night. More details when I have them (and when I learn if I'm somehow interfering with others' plans!)


UPDATE 3: As announced on the Twitterz, one of my goals for this meeting is to befriend the venerable Professor Molenium, and somehow convince him to pose with me. If you spot the mole, be sure to tweet at me!
