With the 2025 academic year now concluded, we can finally devote more focused attention to our research during the remaining winter break! โโ๏ธ Aside from surviving the teaching of Physical Chemistry and General Chemistry, I am deeply grateful for the generous support, guidance, and encouragement I have received from all those who made this possibleโfar more than I can adequately thank in words. As we look ahead, I wish everyone a productive, fulfilling, and successful Year of the Horse. ๐๐
