A. Shear, F. Lin, L. N. Zakharov, D. W. Johnson, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2020, 59, 1496; Angew. Chem. 2020, 132, 1512. The work of D. W. Johnson has been featured on the frontispiece of Angewandte Chemie: “Single Nanoscale Cluster Species Revealed by 1H NMR Diffusion-Ordered Spectroscopy and Small-Angle X-ray Scattering”: A. F. Oliveri, M. E. Carnes, M. M. Baseman, E. K. Richman, J. E. Hutchison, D. W. Johnson, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2012, 51, 10992; Angew. Chem. 2012, 124, 11154. Date of birth: February 8, 1974 Position: Bradshaw and Holzapfel Research Professor in Transformational Science and Mathematics, Professor of Chemistry, University of Oregon (USA) E-mail: dwj@uoregon.edu Homepage: https://www.dwjlab.com/ ORCID: 0000-0001-5967-5115 Education: 1992–1996 Undergraduate studies, University of Texas at Austin (USA) 2000 PhD supervised by Kenneth N. Raymond, University of California at Berkeley (USA) 2001–2003 Postdoc with Julius Rebek, Jr., The Scripps Research Institute (USA) Awards: 2019 National Academy of Inventors Senior Member; 2012 NSF Innovation Corps “Best in Show”; 2006 NSF CAREER Award; 2006 Research Corporation Cottrell Scholar Research: Supramolecular chemistry, physical organic chemistry, receptors, self-assembly, molecular recognition, anion binding Hobbies: Bass guitar, fishing, gardening, golf & softball The best advice I have ever been given is in two parts: 1) while it is important in life to learn how to connect dots, you have to collect dots first, and 2) don't forget to give yourself time to think. The worst advice I have ever been given was don't waste your time on technology transfer and innovation activities early in your career. The most important thing I learned from my parents is find a job that doesn't feel like “work”. My not-so-secret passion is classic rock, progressive rock, and metal (especially the low end). Guaranteed to make me laugh is like Yoda, when people speak. My favorite food is Texas BBQ! My favorite music is anything by Tool, but their album Fear Inoculum has spent a lot of time “spinning” for me recently. Young people should study chemistry because it really is a central science that can launch your career in so many different possible directions … and it's a lot fun. Last time I went to the pub was a beautiful sunny winter day in Bend, Oregon during our annual “snow symposium” with my group at one of my favorite breweries, Crux Fermentation Project. I lose track of time when I'm out on the water on Mercer Lake in Oregon. I advise my students to take care of their well-being and find a balance in their work-life integration. My 5 top papers: 1“Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Three-Dimensional Oligopyrrole: Tris(bipyrro)methane”: J. L. Sessler, M. C. Hoehner, D. W. Johnson, A. Gebauer, V. Lynch, Chem. Commun. 1996, 2311. (This was my first paper in the scientific literature, and writing this with my mentors, Jonathan Sessler and Mike Hoehner, was easily the best educational experience of my undergraduate career.)

Caulder, R. E. Powers, K. N. Raymond, E. H. Wong, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 1999, 38, 1303; Wiley Online LibraryCASPubMedWeb of Science®Google ScholarAngew. Chem. 1999, 110, 1386. (I learned many things from Ken Raymond, and one of the most important included skills for team-science and collaborations, in this case with Ed Wong's group.)

Ed. 2002, 41, 3793; Wiley Online LibraryCASPubMedWeb of Science®Google ScholarAngew. Chem. 2002, 114, 3947. (My favorite paper from my postdoc in Julius Rebek's group at Scripps; it features the molecule that led me to pursue a postdoc in the Rebek lab in the first place.)

Ed. 2004, 43, 5831; Wiley Online LibraryCASPubMedWeb of Science®Google ScholarAngew. Chem. 2004, 116, 5955. (My first paper in my independent career taught us that main-group ions provide for sufficiently labile interactions to enable self-assembly reactions.)

Hay, L. N. Zakharov, M. M. Haley, D. W. Johnson, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2015, 137, 14959. (This paper continued a collaboration with Mike Haley. We (re-)learned how to apply Swain–Lupton and Hammett parameters to analyze trends in linear free energy relationships in CH–anion recognition.)
