note = "Funding Information: Thom{\textquoteright}s leadership abilities were recognized early on when he was appointed Associate Group Leader for Molecular Theory in the Laser Theory Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory. With the untimely passing of Chris Wahl, Thom was recruited to Argonne National Laboratory, where he was appointed the Group Leader of the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Group. During Thom{\textquoteright}s tenure at Argonne, the group became an international focal point for theoretical and computational studies of the species and reactions involved in combustion. The success of this effort led to Thom{\textquoteright}s recruitment to the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, which was planning the development of a new molecular science research center—an activity that eventually matured into the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL), a $230 million project funded by the Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) in the US Department of Energy (DOE). Although the EMSL project was funded by BER, it also had strong support and guidance from Dr. Robert S. Marianelli in the Chemical Sciences Division in the Office of Basic Energy Sciences. ",
