Waiting for Rings of Power season 2 @LOTRonPrime? Forge your own rings, not in Mount Doom, but with our method for the alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling of alcohols and bromides! Now out in @J_A_C_S. Congrats Will! https://t.co/atGU5PbIkA

[Jiaxin Xie @Miyano1018]

Just found out the final piece of my PhD work has been published in @J_A_C_S I am so grateful to everyone involved in this project, especially my advisor Prof Guangbin Dong, without whom it would not have been possible for me to accomplish this work.

Check out this preprint on cubanes. Using a convenient approach to cyclobutadiene and copper photoredox catalysis, we are able to access bioisosteres of ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted benzenes for Med. Chem.

Just out in PNAS! We report the application of µMap to identify protein targets of small molecule drugs. Both intra- and extracellular targets are demonstrated herein. Great work to the entire team!

In PNAS, we report the use of super-resolution microscopy to measure the labeling radii of µmap and other proximity labeling technologies. Congrats to @JamesO760, @BenitoBuksh, @DavidFer_Gz, @CiaranSeath @JacobGeri1 and the entire team!

[Steve Knutson @MrSteveKnutson]

Great week at chem bio summer camp (bioorganic chemistry @GordonConf) with @MacMillan_Lab pals @CiaranSeath and @BenitoBuksh full of juicy science, ice cream, volleyball and ghost stories. Can't wait for next year

In @ScienceMagazine, we report an approach to expedite reaction generality. Using an additive mapping approach, we substantially expand the scope of a nickel-photoredox system. Congrats @cnprietokullmer, Jacob, and our @Merck collaborators! https://t.co/Ocj8X1qzbW

[MacMillan Group @MacMillan_Lab]

In @J_A_C_S, we report a platform for red-light photoproximity labeling as we move toward in vivo applications. Congrats to @BenitoBuksh, @MrSteveKnutson, @JamesO760, @CiaranSeath, collaborators from the Scholes Lab and @PlossLab, & the whole team! https://t.co/9aF6C4QvTb

[MacMillan Group @MacMillan_Lab]

We're hiring! We have several postdoc positions open for chemical biology research and proximity labeling in the MacMillan Lab. Experience in cell biology, biochemistry, molecular genetics, immunology, or related fields desired. DM us with your info and a CV/cover letter!

[Jacob Geri @JacobGeri1]

We are actively recruiting a postdoc interested in working on developing new chemical biology tools for protein interaction discovery. If interested, please email me at [email protected]!

@NobelPrize Congrats to @dmac68. And yes, we still had subgroup this morning

[MacMillan Group @MacMillan_Lab]

Congratulations to @dmac68 and @ben_list, as well as to all members of @MacMillan_Lab and @ListLaboratory!!! Absolutely amazing time to be organic chemists #chemnobel #nobelprize2021

[Jacob Geri @JacobGeri1]

Excited to share that I am now Assistant Professor of Pharmacology at Weill Cornell Medicine! The Geri Lab is recruiting, so let me know if you would be interested in working with me on developing new tools in chemical biology!

Wilson’s racism was significant and consequential even by the standards of his own time, taking America backward in its pursuit of justice. He not only acquiesced in but added to the persistent practice of racism in this country, a practice that continues to do harm today.

[Brian Skinner @gravity_levity]

1/3 The most pervasive toxic behavior in science (and especially theory) is posing: pretending at deep or extensive understanding, or that difficult things are "obvious" or "trivial" for you, or that you have understand something for a long time that others are just learning.

Eric and other members of the @angew_chem International Advisory Board have resigned their positions on the Board.
