Yesterday Stevie Wonder received an Honorary degree from Hopkins and the Peabody, and gave us a song to a cheering ovation. The genius of his name is correct.

Former Group Member Brenda Wilson was in town to receive an award from the @ASMicrobiology as her highly regarded "Bacterial Pathogenesis: A Molecular Approach " heads to a new edition. We posed for a picture with her pbk for non-experts written with her son! How cool is that?

@piel_lab @AnnaVagstad @BroderickLabFeS Congratulations Anna!

[Craig A Townsend @CATLab20]

Year-End Kudos. Especially to former Group member Doug Cohen and his team mates at Vertex for seeing thru to FDA approval the first CRISPR-based therapy for a genetic disorder— sickle cell disease‚ a landmark. Congratulations and to all who have made advances in 2023

[Craig A Townsend @CATLab20]

@yitang_ucla @SIMB_Microbio @OxfordJournals Congraulations Yi. I am sure you will do a great job.

@smhusain2018 @J_A_C_S Thanks Syed!

[Craig A Townsend @CATLab20]

Appearing today in @J_A_C_S. Connecting the dots to a biogenetic proposal for anthraquinone-fused enediyne biosynthesis: https://t.co/eglv1djg5O Remarkable rearrangement and oxidation chemistry — and a simple, efficient synthetic model. Congratulations Paramita and Serena!

[Craig A Townsend @CATLab20]

@jjanetzko @J_A_C_S There is a lot to appreciate in the syntheses of KCN, SJD and AGM and now to contrast a greatly different concept and solution emerging from the shadows by the GOAT natural product chemist. Thanks for seeing.

[Craig A Townsend @CATLab20]

@FreundlichGroup @J_A_C_S Thanks Joel. Not easy.
