We are so excited to have had the opportunity to sit down with Chancellor Emeritus of Washington University in St. Louis, Mark Wrighton. Over the course of twenty four years, he oversaw the establishment of the East End and several important endowed professorships, which brought renowned faculty members to Washington University. But what many don't know is that Wrighton made a name for himself in the world of chemistry by making major contributions to photochemistry and energy research that have grand implications for climate change mitigation. Listen now to hear about the former Chancellor’s career in chemistry, his leading role in Washington University’s rise over the last twenty years, and why his colleagues at MIT knew him as 'Magic Mark'.
