Love seeing this feature of one of our favorites! @facundofGT He is a great person and a great scientist--it has been a true gift to have him as a key collaborator in our center! #WildStreak #MassSpec #NSFfunded @ibbgatech @GTSciences

@UW_OoLALA This is awesome! Can't wait to see more!!

[Chemical Evolution @4ChemEvolution]

Afternoon session of Origins of Biological Macromolecules is kicking off with @DrJayTweets and followed up by @ChemBarkPaul @GregSpringsteen @facundofGT, Chris Keating, Luke Leman and Aiko Guzman! Join us at #ACSSpring2021!!

[Chemical Evolution @4ChemEvolution]

And we didn't even get to the afternoon session!! Be sure to join us all afternoon for more great #chemistry! #NSFFunded

[ChemBark @ChemBark]

For those attending #ACSSpring2021, I'll be giving a short talk today (Thursday) at 5:30 PM EDT (2:30 PM PDT) on "Why did life choose potassium over sodium?" in celebration of the #NSFFunded @4ChemEvolution. You may think potassium uninteresting, but in my book, it is, oh, K.

Super excited for Aaron's talk next to finish out our first session on the Origin of Biological Macromolecules at #ACSSpring2021. Be sure to join some of this awesome session! @aaronengelhart #GTalumni @GTSciences @UMNresearch

[Chemical Evolution @4ChemEvolution]

Join us in 10 minutes at #ACSSpring2021 in our #Origin of Biological #Macromolecules session all day today!! @GT_CHEM @GTSciences #NSFFunded

[Chemical Evolution @4ChemEvolution]

So excited to see this work from @facundofGT and PD Marcos Bouza demonstrating the power of TENG devices for diverse applications! One thing leads to another...and another. @GTSciences

.@facundofGT at @GeorgiaTech demonstrates a new method for identifying double bond position and stereochemistry in lipids for shotgun lipidomics using triboelectric devices. https://t.co/XQPtWcJzO7

@ibbgatech @GarciaLabGT Fabulous news!! Well deserved!!

[Chemical Evolution @4ChemEvolution]

@StolarTomislav @ibbgatech @GTSciences @GT_CHEM @NSF @NASAAstrobio So glad you could join us!!

[Chemical Evolution @4ChemEvolution]

Ten+ years. Hundreds of collaborations. Many (many) hours of intense meetings. Thousands of experiments repeated. Countless friendships made. A scientific legacy just beginning to be realized. Congrats team on a job well done! @ibbgatech @GTSciences @GT_CHEM @NSF @NASAAstrobio

[Chemical Evolution @4ChemEvolution]

The biopolymer love-fest continues with praise for the awesomeness of #RNA. Prof Lazcano spoke to lessons learned from #RNAviruses and Prof Williams on how exaptation was key to getting the #biomolecules of life. #BeOpenMinded #origins @NASAAstrobio @ibbgatech #evolution @UNAM_MX

[Chemical Evolution @4ChemEvolution]

Guessing @DrJayTweets and @ChemBarkPaul were loving Luke Leman's proclamation that depsipeptides are SO COOL that they deserve to be studied for their own innate properties...not just as a possible peptide precursor! #Origins #DynamicChemistry @NSF @NASAAstrobio @scrippsresearch

[Chemical Evolution @4ChemEvolution]

Inspiring talk about bio #homochirality by @DonnaBlackmond to finish up our first session today. Now a great conversation with our speakers about the complexity of #Origins research. @facundofGT @ChemBarkPaul @GroverGroup @ibbgatech @scrippsresearch @GTSciences

[Chemical Evolution @4ChemEvolution]

@GroverGroup

[Chemical Evolution @4ChemEvolution]

Chatting about novel ionization techniques on a beautiful Fri afternoon! Great talk by @facundofGT about #MassSpec of complex mixtures. Shout out to @DrJayTweets and @YuGroupNCKU! Team work makes the dream work! @NSF @NASAAstrobio @ibbgatech @groverlab @GTSciences #AwesomeAlumni

[Chemical Evolution @4ChemEvolution]

Life is a complex system and likely so were it's origins...#TRUTH Martha @GroverGroup speaks to the selection of molecules and the role of cycles in evolution. Love that former CCE student @christine_y_he was the Suddath award winner in 2017! @NatureChemistry @ibbgatech @GTChBE

[Chemical Evolution @4ChemEvolution]

A great first day--amazing talks and some really fabulous discussions with our speakers. Excited to continue this discussion tomorrow! Thanks @VGrassian @SzostakLab @GregSpringsteen and the other non-tweeting speakers! Inspiring science! @ibbgatech @NSF @NASAAstrobio #Origins

[Chemical Evolution @4ChemEvolution]

Getting into how small molecules and minerals influence the formation of biopolymers. @VGrassian is discussing pyruvic acid, surfaces and all the potentially cool chemistry in between! So happy to have our CCI buddy with us today! @CAICECCI @NSF @ibbgatech @UCSDChemBiochem

[Chemical Evolution @4ChemEvolution]

After a great talk, Dr. Krishnamurthy @scrippsresearch showed some great pics including this classic of CCE Director and Managing Director WAY more than 10 years ago! #Teamscience #Friends #Collaborations #AncientHistory
