One of the great joys of my job is that I receive emails from alums and colleagues telling me about lovely\u00a0changes in their lives: new jobs, marriages, babies, fellowships, and so on. Really\u00a0delightful\u00a0stuff. And, of course, because I also write for this blog, I hope that they will let me share their\u00a0information here. Nearly everyone says ‘yes’ to my requests (thank you!)<\/em> and my next step is\u00a0usually to move\u00a0their\u00a0email into a special folder where it will patiently wait for a gap in my busy schedule. Ideally, this gap appears in the next few days, or perhaps a few weeks, and the post appears. Ideally. That\u00a0is The Plan.<\/p>\n

I decided earlier today to take a look at the folder to see what might have escaped my notice in the end-of-semester rush. Oh, woe!\u00a0Buried at the “bottom” of this folder were emails that date back, well, if not to an ancient, lost civilization, at least to a time when iPads looked pretty new and cool. =(<\/p>\n

Here, along with my apologies for overlooking your emails, are these antique notices of Reed Chemistry News for your enjoyment (from oldest to newest). I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did, then and now.<\/p>\n

Jun, 2013. Arthur Glasfeld<\/strong>\u00a0shared a rowing photo (for those who find this image disturbing, I recommend that you stay away from the Willamette and other other Northwest waterways, especially during the early morning hours – he still rows):<\/p>\n
