During my talk this morning at the International Symposium on Intercalation Compounds #ISIC22 in France, I couldn't resist presenting this slide about the gold medal won my our daughter Luz Marie Grande Pérez in the Women's Bodyboarding category at the Panamerican Surfing Games in Guatemala.

Already at Northwestern University walking around seeing the campus for the first time and next to University Hall I found this announcement on the walkway of the Harry Gray Day Celebration taking place this afternoon. Looking forward to the event and seeing Harry and all members of the Gray Nation.

Thanks to Prof. Luyi Sun @uconn.bsky.social for being such a great host during my visit to UConn last week. I showed a slide of the wonders of Puerto Rico, to disprove what was said at a Madison Square Garden rally about Puerto Rico being "a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean".
