Joel Bowman

Joel Mark Bowman is the Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Theoretical Chemistry at Emory University.[1] He is the author of more than 500 publications, a member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Sciences,and a fellow of the American Physical Society[2] and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[1] His research interests are in basic theories of chemical reactivity;[1] his AAAS fellow citation cited him “for distinguished contributions to reduced dimensionality quantum approaches to reaction rates and to the formulation and application of self-consistent field approaches to molecular vibrations.”[1] Several of his recent papers have appeared in the journal Science.

gollark: One problem with solar/wind is that (like most things) they degrade over time (lithium ion batteries, which you could end up needing many of, especially fast), and would be in remote locations in huge quantities...
gollark: Nuclear also doesn't take up much land, and could be way more efficient than it already is if it was actually deployed at scale and new technologies got used.
gollark: The waste is basically a non problem compared to carbon dioxide and they run constantly.
gollark: Nuclear is far superior to foolish wind/solar.
gollark: Though we could compromise on $25$.
