The latest chapter from the Leitch Lab / @arseniyadis.bsky.social Lab collaboration now online at Chem. Commun.! Congrats to the team, and stay tuned for some exciting things to come...!

Fantastic and creative work from the Roberts lab on a new approach to arynes (and a superb use of one of my favorite words in the title!) Congrats to the authors!

Join us tomorrow 2pm ET for the Canadian Organic Invitational #COrgI virtual seminar series! We've got two fantastic talks, one from Mandy Lynn of Gilead on the manufacture of lenacapavir, and also from Melissa Mejia-Gutierrez from USask on diazirines! Register here: www.cheminst.ca/cic-virtual/...

Man the capstan! Blood and thunder!

Okay, I'm all in for the Blue Jays. 1) AL East representing. Toughest division in MLB 2) Fuck the bigger payroll always. 3) Canada deserves something nice after all the bloviating and assholery they've endured from us these nine months. Yeah, Cali v. Trump. But Newsom can troll with other stuff.

This member of the chemistry community wholeheartedly agrees.

Maud Menten was born in Canada in 1879 and completed her UG and MD education at University of Toronto. As a research assistant with Leonor Michaelis in 1912, they wrote the classic paper describing the “Michaelis-Menten” model of enzyme kinetics.. #WomenInScience

"Back when I was in college, I was a cool, virile twenty-two-year-old with washboard abs and a large group of friends. Students today would struggle to say the same, since I’m sixty-two, my kids hate me, and my doctor says I’m prediabetic."

Well it’s chemistry of course. The reason why organic chemists historically make p-tosylates rather than the simpler benzenesulfonates is that p-tosyl chloride is a cheap byproduct from saccharin synthesis. The ortho isomer is used for saccharin. #chemsky 🧪

Got an ad for a $3300 "molecular hydrogen" "ocular treatment" that amounts to an electrolizer and some ski goggles, and, look, if you really want this you don't need $3300. You can blow your garage up with H2 for the mere price of a car battery and a mason jar.
