Abstract

I may believe in the inherent goodness of people more than is warranted, but I hold out hope. I see more people doing the little things that are the foundation of goodness. Kindnesses can be as simple as holding doors and stepping aside for others, paying for the next person in line at the coffee shop, lending a hand when someone is struggling to move something. All of these random acts of kindness are most impactful when they are done without being asked, and they add up. They brighten the day for people on both sides of the encounter. So, let’s show the world that all electrochemists and solid-state scientists, besides being good-looking, smart, and incredibly interesting, are very, very kind.
