Wishing the happiest of birthdays to our very good friend Harry Gray, PhD, from all of us at the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation!

Come join us! We are looking for our next amazing new colleague.

For our lab at Virginia Tech, we are hiring a postdoctoral scholar to advance catalytic and energy storage systems. This is a collaborative project, and expertise in synthesis, photocatalysis, electrochemistry, or energy storage is ideal. For details see here: spartantalent.uncg.edu/postings/32936

BIOCHEMISTS! We are looking for a new post-doctoral colleague at BU who will be devoted to a combination of teaching Biochemistry and engaging in Research. Ask me anything! The deadline is short, but the job is awesome. #ChemJobs You can apply here: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/BU/CH/PA...

🚨💥New Publication Alert💥🚨 Investigation of the redox and electron transfer kinetics of TMPA-supported mono versus dimeric copper(I) complexes and offers insights into how the nuclearity affects the redox behavior. tinyurl.com/4ayutfmy @hematianlab.bsky.social #InorganicChemistry @pubs.acs.org

Grateful for a productive and energizing second #NICER retreat! Exciting research progress, meaningful collaboration, and a team truly coming together to drive impact. #NatureInspiredSolutions #EnergyResearch ⚡️🌱✨🔋☀️

Don't miss the RSC Desktop Seminar on the Chemistry of Inorganic Clusters! Featuring talks and live Q&A from Stephen Ragsdale (University of Michigan) and Patrick Holland (Yale University). May 27th, 19:00 GMT - live or on demand Register here: rsc.zoom.us/webinar/...

Happy early 90th Birthday to my forever mentor, Harry Gray.

FYI: The Spencer Foundation, Kapor Foundation, The William T. Grant Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation have collaborated to offer $25K rapid response grants. "This rapid response bridge funding opportunity is for scholars and teams whose grants have recently been cancelled by NSF."

Boss did us proud yesterday. 💪

Save the date: Come and join the first Global Inorganic Virtual Seminar with Suzanna Bart and @harder-research.bsky.social! riceuniversity.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Best part of #ACSSanDiego? Hanging out with Morris group alums.

Excited to have an op-ed in the @nytimes.com today about rising rates of autism diagnosis, how that fits my own experiences, and why it's a bad idea to relitigate the vaccine debate. #actuallyautistic @ericmgarcia.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/o...

Fifty peer reviews completed! Grateful to the editors for giving the opportunity to learn (and support) cool science before it gets shared with the world. Looking forward to even more! #Happy #Reviewer2 tinyurl.com/4bkwwvtv

Ready to #StandUpForScience tomorrow in DC! Let’s go! @standupforscience.bsky.social

ChemWMN believes in inclusion and the power and resilience that diverse identities bring to the sciences. We remain steadfast in our mission to strengthen our communities through mentorship and support of women in chemistry. Join us 3/7 at 9:30am PT for a mentor meetup. Zoom link emailed or DM.

The response of the science community to the last month is not about one statement or action. It's about all of us with our different frames. For Science's part, we are doing what we have always done and have no plans to change. My thoughts on what we can do. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable. University presidents need to be speaking out, collectively & loudly about this, in DC, right now.

REU programs are being cancelled for fear of not receiving funds and graduate admissions are being limited or completely halted. Hundreds of Americans are losing the opportunity to train as STEM professionals.

I escaped poverty because I am a scientist. And I am a scientist because of the National Science Foundation. A 🧵:

A small positive post in the midst of these uncertain times... The Molecular Biology & Biochemistry department at Wesleyan is hiring a visiting professor for a Sept start date. Come join us and/or share with prospective applicants! wesleyan.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/careers/job/...

I am excited to serve the ACS Division of Inorganic Chemistry as the chair-elect this year (and chair in 2026)! Congratulations to all of those elected to serve across the DIC.

This could be a really helpful resource:

Excited to share our new paper on the electronic absorption of ferricenium derivatives—ALL are red-shifted! Congratulations to our amazing postdocs, @fskhan.bsky.social and Sandip Das, for their meticulous work. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1080/0095...

We are excited to see our review published! In it, we explore the diversity of enzymatic strategies for installing aromatic side chain cross-links in RiPPs. If you like interesting chemistry and new enzyme reactions, be sure to check it out!

Had a fantastic time at our first NICER retreat! Great discussions, collaborations, and ideas to push the boundaries of sustainable energy research. Excited for what’s ahead! ✨ #SustainableEnergy @uncgresearch.bsky.social @uncg.bsky.social @uncchapelhill.bsky.social @ncatsuaggies.bsky.social

Wise words and great reading list!

I have a PhD position available in my group, to start in March 2025. If you have a keen interest in biochemistry and would like to study an exciting and novel class of copper proteins (aka weird Cu tubes) from bacteria, I'd love to hear from you. You should apply here: ibb.edu.pl/app/uploads/...

Happy Holidays from the Chekan Lab!

rovingnature.net/episode-1/nu... Thank you Matt Bryant for hosting our conversation about #naturalproducts #chemistry on your awesome podcast. Happy to make this conversation my first post on @bsky.app. #GardenTilTheBulldozersCome #CommunityGarden #Steminista #WomenInStem

Excited to share our work on the new plant copper enzymes, BpCs! We offer mechanistic insights and structural recommendations for advancing BpC research. So many Cu enzymes have been waiting to be discovered! 🌿🧬🧪 Sharing the author’s link here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jzvn9CpcY...

Ok, I figured out how to create a Metallobiologists starter pack. I'll keep adding to the list as I find more, but please add your name here if I've missed you. go.bsky.app/SgEyRLv

University of Rochester Chemistry announces its 2025 International Student Summer Research (iScholar) Program: www.sas.rochester.edu/chm/undergra... Outstanding international undergraduate (or M.S.) students planning to pursue a PhD in Chemistry in the future are encouraged to apply.

As Bluesky is rapidly emerging as the new online gathering place for chemists (and the scientific community in general), I tried making an INORG CHEM starter pack! go.bsky.app/9jrY6wU If your research involves inorganic chemistry of any flavor and I've missed you, please lmk.

I have initiated this #StarterPack with #RedoxBio researchers. Feel free to suggest other users, or yourself, to be included! go.bsky.app/UoVRtXp

H3-H4 histone dimers act as copper reductase. This is important because ETC and SOD1 require bio-usable Cu+ for function. This article shows a new mechanism by which chromatin histones can affect the cell metabolism via a new role in metal processing #redoxepigenetics www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Looking for an Editor handling our polymer chemistry content. Training will be provided. Deadline is December 8th. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in this position and want more information before applying. www.nature.com/naturecareer...
