Tom Webb Stops By 07/24/2008 Tom Webb stopped by the Breakthroughs HQ Annex (aka the OSU Foundation) today for a visit. He’s recently “retired” from his career on the chemistry faculty at Auburn University (he kept his office there, so I suspect he’s still making frequent appearances at work). He has maintained his connections at his alma mater, OSU, stopping by to see old and new friends a few times a year.More...
