Forty years ago the field was arguably hostile to women, people of color were few and largely absent from all positions of authority. Much has changed in that time but much more remains to be done. A survey last year found …
When I wrote my “Message from the Chair” in January I was full of hope and excitement for 2020. There were so many events I was looking forward to where I would gather with chemistry colleagues. I have always cherished these interactions. Instead we have all been confronted with a year of unforeseeable pain and …
