Abstract
I write from the perspective of a chemist—materials researcher who has spent 50 years on the faculty of Pennsylvania State University. I founded its most recognized research unit, the Materials Research Laboratory, and directed it for a quarter century. I have published nearly 700 papers; over 40 were done in the last two years. I cite this to establish my credentials as a card-carrying, active research scientist.
