I've started posting some literature-based organic chemistry problems at
https://t.co/KjkQmW6foa. I assembled them during Covid-lockdown boredom and since I haven't figured out anything better to do with them, I thought I'd put them online in case others might find them useful.
Check out the Buss Group’s first publication in @J_A_C_S!
Carefully designed copper clusters inform the critical role of surface hydrides in CO2RR.

So honored to be named a 2023 #SloanFellow! Very grateful I get to do research with the incredible members of the @BridwellRabbLab! Congratulations to all of the awardees!
Inspiring work to provide clean and safe drinking water within communities rather than shipping pallets of plastic water bottles.

It's with great pleasure to share the work from the @BridwellRabbLab I co-authored on with Dr. Brimberry published in #CurrentOpinion in #ChemicalBiology focused on engineering regions inside and outside the active site of Rieske oxygenases for catalysis: https://t.co/X0WzD5pwCn
even if the rest of the day is complete shit… as my instructor xochitl says “the fact that u took time out of ur day to care for yourself matters”….. so true, xochitl
A key finding is both the polymer AND the pesky plasticizer additive are repurposed in this process. This aspect is really important for dealing with PVC waste b/c PVC and phthalates have been formulated together for decades. (truly a toxic power couple)
It’s finally time to share the fruit of my post-doc research on plastics upcycling: a method for repurposing PVC waste in chlorination reactions. Check it out! Thanks to @AnneJMcNeil, Han, Sofia, and Jose, and @McNeilGroup! https://t.co/6ezfRkbMlj
As scientists, we often forget just how cool our work is. I showed my parents what I do in lab for the first time today & my mom was amazed just looking at DNA on a agarose gel & human cells under the microscope. Take a moment to be proud of yourself & your science!
I strongly agree with this direction of having a diverse (electronics, different groups) rather than an expansive scope. Furthermore, including negative examples of low yields would establish limitations and save resources of others wanting to apply the method
