We hate wickedness & evil. Today's execution/assasignation of @charliekirk11 saddens & infuriates me. My young adult children & teenager feel this, as do so many young people all over America. They were blessed and benefited by his personal testimony & strong conservatism. Charlie loved God & lived by the authority of the Bible. He was the loudest pro-life voice in America. I'm asking God to use this providentially for His will. May God use this in some way for our country's good. I also pray for God's comfort to these thousands of young people Charlie has impacted.

It was an honor to host @realhomerhickam as the keynote speaker at the International Pyrotechnics Seminars. He was a true inspiration for me to pursue a career in #STEM.

Congrats senior Roxanne Huff - 2022 American Institute of Chemists Award for outstanding academic achievement and service to the department and classmates!

There is no scientific reason for the TSA to extend the current mask mandate, especially given the high-quality air filtration technology on planes and the new CDC guidance.
The TSA should immediately rescind the mask mandate extension.

Sad to hear about the passing of Professor John a inkling. He was one of my earliest mentors and teachers of the field of pyrotechnics when I first began my career. He was one of the kindest people that I ever knew, always willing to help the younger folks.
