Congratulations to the @organicdivision.org Industrial Early and Mid-Career Investigator Awardees! This year, we were able to partner with @acsmedi.bsky.social and ANYL to recognize even more outstanding scientists. Looking forward to hearing everyone’s award talks next month in Washington, DC!

After not posting for a while, I figured five simultaneous fireworks displays around lower Manhattan was a good start. Perk of living a couple blocks from the Hudson :)

Just one more week to submit nominations for the 2025 Industrial Early and Mid-Career Investigator Awards, so nominate a colleague today! Looking forward to a great set of award talks this fall! www.organicdivision.org/earlycareeri... www.organicdivision.org/midcareerinv... @organicdivision.org

Let’s be clear, any asterisk RFK puts on his newfound pro-vaccine stance (“we just need to ask questions”) tells us exactly what his HHS intentions are. He is profoundly anti-science and has zero credibility. One of the more telling moments from today’s stream of lies… www.cnn.com/2025/01/29/p...

Aww, come on @nytimes.com! I’m sensing some alkane bias.

So excited to see this published! Thionucleosides can be incredibly challenging to make due to the need for oxidation state changes at sulfur during the synthesis. Collaborating with the Britton group, we’ve been able to make them using a short, selective sequence! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Reminder: On December 1 Applications for Travel Awards to Spring ACS are Due zurl.co/o5XR Organic Syntheses Research Grants for PUI Faculty are Due zurl.co/P254

I’m so excited to be serving the DOC as next year’s chair-elect! Thanks to everyone who voted and who ran for office. Looking forward to continuing to volunteer for the community!

The ACS Division of Organic Chemistry has joined the Chemsky community!

RFK Jr.’s to-do list to make America "healthy" has health experts worried, and advocates for public health are not mincing words with their criticism

Nominations for the 2025 Early Career Investigator Award are now being accepted! This year we’ve partnered with the Divisions of Medicinal and Analytical Chemistry to showcase the interdisciplinary nature of industrial research. Nominate a colleague today! www.organicdivision.org/earlycareeri...
