I think if you check the journals you will find well over 100
publications with my name on them. In legitimate peer-reviewed journals,
not unreviewed one-pagers in some conference proceeding that I wouldn't
sully the title of "publication" with..

Nonsense. Unreviewed conference one-pagers, on which your rank somewhere
so far down the author list as to be invisible, do not count as
"publications". You should be ashamed of yourself for even trying to
pull that stunt, as should the ACS for posing as a "materials science"
society.

But then, it's the money in the materials science field that they are
after. Envy is a terrible thing.

Two people in this thread have had one of their parents die of a
horrible degenerative disease. What is wrong with you?

If someone in your family came down with ALS or Alzheimer's you would
see things very differently, I can assure you. I'm surprised at your
shallowness.
