Birthdays offer an opportunity to celebrate a life well-lived as well as a chance to plan for the future. The journal Inorganic Chemistry just turned 60, and alongside the Division of Inorganic Chemistry, has evolved during its lifetime, always reflecting what the community views as exciting science. The diversity of the science chronicled in Inorganic Chemistry is particularly striking, and the impacts of the discoveries and analyses published over the many decades are myriad. In this lecture, we look back at the long life of our flagship journal and then forward to what might come next, in celebration and with the hope of inspiring the next generations who tackle exciting chemistry challenges that span the entire periodic table.
