‘If I can mimic them with a superatom made of earth-abundant elements, I have found a way to circumvent the chemistry of the periodic table to eliminate some of the properties that are undesirable,’ says Puru Jena. #ChemSky www.chemistryworld.com/features/sup...

My students are the best!!

Great end to the spring seminar series at SMU Chemistry… thanks to Dr. Timmy Ramirez-Cuesta from @ORNL and Prof. Tanei Ricks for delivering excellent lectures

After a wonderful seminar by Prof. @WenyangGao … mechanochemistry truly is super cool!

It was great to host our department alum Jerry Parks from ORNL.. many thanks again for visiting and delivering an amazing lecture

Many thanks to @tomkempa.bsky.social for hosting me at JHU last Tuesday..it was so much fun learning about all the cool research going on at the Chemistry department.. #soinspiring

Today, my mom asked me if I ever considered publishing in Science Magazine to reach a broader audience... Thanks, Mom. #oceanography 🌊🤦‍♀️🙄

It is always a nice evening when a bunch of chemists get together.. thanks Prof Nathan Gianneschi for visiting us @SMU and delivering such an inspiring lecture..it was also great catching up with @ronsmaldone.bsky.social after a long time..

It was amazing to have Prof. Francois Gabbai deliver such an inspiring Ed Biehl lecture at SMU..

#chemchat #chemsky I need your recommendation for a very high boiling point solvent that can be used at 300C. Ph2O is not high enough (it goes to around 250C). Cannot be protic, cannot have amines. It doesn't need to be a liquid at room temp. Ideas? Cc @adrianlorenzana.ca

Why shouldn't you trust someone you see drawing on graph paper? They're definitely plotting something.

I'm gonna keep bumping this because it's gonna take the kindness of strangers to get the support he needs

🚨 PhD Opportunity 🚨 🔁 Reposts appreciated! My group at @manchester.ac.uk is recruiting a 3.5-year PhD student to explore Sb & Bi pincer complexes for metallomimetic chemistry. 🔬 Fully funded (UK only) 📍 Manchester 🧪 Synthetic inorganic chemistry Apply 👉 tinyurl.com/yrjkvha9

It was great to have @beth-elacqua.bsky.social visit us at SMU

@ronsmaldone.bsky.social @gassensmith.net 😍😍

Well, well... who wants to be cited at the beginning of one of my papers next year? #NobelPrize

So glad they included Robson #chemnobel

Late post but ISMPC was easily favorite conference of this year :)

Thanks to TWU Chemistry for hosting me today.. I had a fantastic time.. it was great to learn about the exciting research going on in the Chem Dept ..

Gosh no, I don’t need AI to summarize my emails!!

UCLA Health ended an NDM-1 Pseudomonas aeruginosa outbreak by tracing it to an ICU sink biofilm via whole-genome sequencing, then eliminating it with targeted disinfection, plumbing changes, and staff education—showcasing the power of diverse IPC measures. #AMR www.newswise.com/articles/the...

Thiol users and enjoyers, is there a reason folks don't make TIPS-SH from TIPS-Cl and NaSH? The preps out there all bubble H2S through n-BuLi

"In summary, our investigation has revealed the inherent complexity of this system." That's the best way I've ever read of saying "none of this worked"! 🧪 #chemsky

Yay! J. Chem. Educ. paper out on removing DCM from teaching labs! It was a delight to work with Dr. Vosburg and his students, especially because I graduated from Mudd, which is where David teaches now (he started the year after I graduated so we didn't overlap). pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

It’s that time of the year again.. congrats to our lab alumni Dr. Kenari and Dr. Ariyarathna

Celebrating the research accomplishments of our very talented undergrad, Nise Olawale, at the Hamilton Scholars Reception..

Congratulations to all our lab’s graduates.. so proud of you all .. can’t wait to see all the great things you achieve in the coming years..

When your PhD advisor comes to your university to give a talk..

Decided to take a break and go celebrate the 60th birthday of the beautiful Meadows Museum..
