Leroy Cronin

Leroy (Lee) Cronin is the Gardiner Professor Chemistry in the Department Chemistry at the University of Glasgow, UK. His research interests include cluster chemistry, ligand design and supramolecular chemistry and in assembling functional nanosystems. He was elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the Royal Society of Chemistry, and appointed to the Gardiner Chair in April 2009.

Leroy Cronin is also building a new multi-million pound wing to the Department of Chemistry, known as the 'Cronin Empire'. All matters of security will be dealt with by failed Austrian artist and SS officer Lutz Hecht. If you do not obey his orders his will scatter your body like he does with light.

Plans have been put in place to build a bronze statue of Cronin at the entrance to the Cronin Empire.

Cronin was recently in the press when Venkatraman Ramakrishnan won the Nobel prize. According to some sources, Kanye West went up on stage at the award ceremony and said it should have went to "my friend Cronin."

As of 2009 Leroy Cronin also has a new Twitter page. Although he is actually just tweeting to himself, he doesn't care as to him he's the only person in the world that he thinks matters.

Leroy Cronin admits he created this page himself. You can't fool us. Also, stop thinking you're cool in lectures when you look at your iPhone.

Leroy Cronin came to greater public awareness when he came 33rd in Channel 4's 100 Greatest Britons.
