Important words to hear, heed, and live out in our daily work

[Maly Cosco @malycat03]

Impactful words by @CarolynBertozzi today on how diversity in her trainees enabled creativity, not playing by the rules, and ultimately the work that built the field of bioorthogonal chemistry. Diverse science leads to better science!

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

BREAKING NEWS:
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”

@kethselly @lizardwithaz I hear that place really stinks.

Just across the street, a monument of empty chairs sits on the former site of the main Leipzig synagogue (also destroyed during that unfortunate time in human history).

Expressed my appreciation to a few musical heroes at St Thomas in Leipzig

Due to his Jewish heritage, the statue of Mendelssohn (who was, arguably, the person most influential in unearthing Bach’s works for us all) was torn down by the Nazis. Thankfully it has been rebuilt.

We fired all the janitors. Well, except for the ones who take care of the Admin Bldg!

[W. Andrew Barr @wabarree]

my best writing advice for students

Wallace and the campus cat, Sunflower. Love at first sight.
