Judging by early suggestions, I think they'd especially like to hear about up-and-coming* chemists, both in the U.S. and abroad. So, readers, I'll put two questions to you:
1. Which early-career (<10 years' experience) U.S. organic chemist would you recommend?
From the comments: Jeff Johnson (UNC), Guangbin Dong (UT-Austin), Chris Vanderwal (Irvine), Rob Knowles (Princeton)

2. Which international** early-career organic chemist's work most excites you?
From the comments: Masayuki Inoue (Tokyo), Weisheng Tian (SIOC), Nicolai Cramer, Michael Willis, Shu-Li You (SIOC), Jerome Waser (EPFL), Nuno Maulide, N. Yoshikai (Nanyang), M. Niggeman (EWTH Aachen), Ang Li (SIOC)

Please leave your thoughts in the comments. Thanks!
*Presumably, this serves to generate a more inclusive environment, and also (hopefully) helps NOS to reverse the steep declines in attendance.
In 2003, 1081 chemists traveled to Bloomington, IN; only 636 made it to Seattle, WA in 2013.
**Bonus points if they're from outside the U.K. or Europe.
