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!).

  1. @paleymir, one of the folks who helps put out the ACS journals. I actually stumbled here looking for any insight as to if/when a tweet up is likely for San Diego. Thoughts?

  3. The energy around the Fall ACS and the epic tweet-up was contagious it’s amazing how online connections turn into real-world friendships. Kind of like how Yamuna Expressway Flats are turning into hot spots for young professionals looking to build community near all the action. Great vibes all around!
