Shanghai, 2007 - What is he pointing at?
News: As of July 1, 2007, I'll be formally retired from Princeton University after 43 years! But that's not all - in September 1, 2007, I'll join the faculty at NYU as professor.
More News: In May-June, there was a reunion of some former residents of Jones Alley in Shanghai. For pictures, see:

Reunion in China, 2007
Old News: The Jones research Lab, nicknamed "Jones Alley" by Duncan Brown many years ago, closed August 2004, after almost exactly 40 years of activity in reactive intermediate chemistry. We published about 225 papers and a few books over that time, averaging a remarkably constant five papers a year, roughly one per active group member per year.
I cannot begin to acknowledge my debt to those coworkers from whom I learned far more than they learned from me. The best I can do to redeem that unpayable debt is to tell them here how much I loved working with them, how much I appreciate their efforts, and how very much delight I take in their successes. If we have lost contact, and you see this, please send me an email. Here are links to their names:
Undergraduates - Follow this link to the 63 undergraduates who appeared as coauthors on one or more papers.
Graduate Students - Follow this link to the 30 graduate students who worked in Jones Alley - Everyone published at least one paper.
Postdocs and Visitors - Follow this link to the 34 postdoctoral fellows and similar visitors who worked in Jones Alley

Here are three little girls who arrived in the world in 2003:
Margaret Gwen Adda Jones (June 30, 2003). Helen Blue Buckley-Jones (June 27, 2003)
and Jane Lincoln Biggs (September 26, 2003)
