A heartfelt thank you to all the grad programs that just let me upload my letter of recommendation. I hate answering, "Is this candidate excellent (top 15%), amazing (top 5%), or truly exceptional (top 2%)?" I don't know, man! Read my letter! And don't make me pit my students against each other.

I'm excited to share the first publication out of the Brezny lab! We explored some unexpected reactivity of an indole with metalloporphyrins. Thank you to all my awesome students that contributed to this work. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

St. Olaf is hiring a two-year Visiting Assistant Professor to teach Biochemistry and General Chemistry starting in August 2025. This would be a great opportunity for someone interested in teaching at a PUI or liberal arts college. Spread the word!
