Waterton is only 1.5 hours away from the University of Lethbridge. ♥️ Isn't that a sweet incentive to come study (chemistry!?) here? @uLethbridge #alberta #canada #rockymountains #waterton #watertonpark #lake #hike

The ingeniosity of my student is just... Frightening ?

Visitors on campus at @uLethbridge. 🦌 They brighten my day every time I see them. 😍 This morning, I wasn't looking where I was walking (you know... texting 🤷‍♂️) and almost bumped into one. Of the two of us, I am the one who got scared 😂

[Jean-Denys Hamel @JD_Hamel]

@christine_m_le I feel your pain! I spent my time Sunday going outside to measure how much snow had fallen. Needless to say, I was NOT in a good mood. 😅 Hang in there!!

A nice thing when moving to a new place is to discover gorgeous spots like this one!! 🤩 #lethbridge #coulees #oldmanriver This is mere METERS away from the science building @uLethbridge. Just saying! [#newPI 🤪 #chemistry]

[Jean-Denys Hamel @JD_Hamel]

@christine_m_le My pleasure!

[Jean-Denys Hamel @JD_Hamel]

My therapy (or addiction!?) 🌿☘️🌱 #plants #seedlings #garden And yes, these will be grown the same way I like my #chemistry: #organic!! ♥️

[Jean-Denys Hamel @JD_Hamel]

Best one I have read in a while🤣 #pokemon #chemistry

🌨️ The @UofLethbridge is momentarily back to some #wintery weather! ❄️ I don't understand the person that took their bike when I #slipped twice walking the 300m between my car and the Science Commons building... 🤷🏻‍♂️ Someone is much braver/talented than me!! 😂

[Jean-Denys Hamel @JD_Hamel]

@anna_wuttig Congratulations!!

[Jean-Denys Hamel @JD_Hamel]

@christine_m_le Gotta buy a fridge/freezer too... Every time I start looking for one I am like "whyyyyyyy??" 💰💰💰

[Jean-Denys Hamel @JD_Hamel]

@R2G_UCSD Enjoy!! Unboxing new labware is such a guilty pleasure!

[Jean-Denys Hamel @JD_Hamel]

@jwgauld gave us a fantastic talk this morning addressing #EDI in #STEM through an #LQBGT+ lens. As a member of the community myself, I felt emotional. I felt rage. And now I feel invested with a mission. As he so strongly worded: "Diversity is a fact, inclusion is an act". 🏳️‍🌈

Finally got to read this one and it is 🔥! Sweet work on sequential C–F bond functionalizations via spin-center shifts. Partial defluorination is normally very tricky unless a change in hybridization occurs at carbon. #fluorine #fluorinechemistry #science https://t.co/kB2tAVbXyr
