@AlexisSMartell I waited so long for this to come up 😭

Being vaccinated does not mean hydroxide is a good leaving group.

Saw this in the Tribune and had to find and share #Chicago

There he go 😂😂😂 #chicago #snow

@JosephAccardo To get a challenging Suzuki to work, you had to run the reaction in the stomach of a frog. We had a collection of frogs for this purpose. I was hesitant to use the frog conditions, but I was also desperate, and woke up while guiltily cutting open a frog to retrieve my product.

My film debut is here! I want to thank @AlexisSMartell for your incredible artistic vision; you're the best (/only) director I've worked with and my incredible costars Vivian, @JosephAccardo, & @alexandrajberl for making coming to set such a delight! https://t.co/wIJry2fiLt

What are your weird chemistry dreams?

[Joseph Accardo @JosephAccardo]

Dreamed that we didn’t have enough space for our rheometer in lab so I had to set it up in my apartment kitchen. Then I dropped the auto sampler?? which I have never observed for a rheometer.

@XMa75870843 Not poly-ols, but maybe a few thiols 🤔

[Joseph Accardo @JosephAccardo]

Compounds had a little too much to drink at the party

[Joseph Accardo @JosephAccardo]

@coal_carter Do you feed them?

[Joseph Accardo @JosephAccardo]

Great read!

[Ellen Sletten @EllenSletten]

The first paper from our host-guest team in the group is now officially out! Congrats to Anna and all co-authors and thanks to @organomimetic for sharing the awesomeness of carboranes with us. Stay tuned for more host-guest chemistry from @slettengroup https://t.co/qhbIsvEOcN

Super fun project!

Catch and release, with visible light: The @kalowlab demonstrates how photoisomerization of azobenzenes translates into reversible changes in equilibrium binding of an adjacent dynamic covalent bond https://t.co/fIEGNPml8N

@AyaKadrium This sounds reasonable!

[Joseph Accardo @JosephAccardo]

Does the spout really have to come out the end? Why don’t they just stop at the joint. They are so easy to break 😢

@EmilyPentzer 2 weeks mandatory or 1 week followed by negative test at NU

@CBrewTheChemist Lmao

[Joseph Accardo @JosephAccardo]

@NPowersRiggs Thanks !

[Joseph Accardo @JosephAccardo]

Check out our work on photo controlling the equilibrium between the boronic acid-ester! The @kalowlab reported this phenomena in 2018 to tune hydrogel mechanics, and @emilyrmcclure , @MartinMosqueraT and I have been working hard to rationalize this chemistry.

[Joseph Accardo @JosephAccardo]

@edvitaku Thanks Eddie!!

[Joseph Accardo @JosephAccardo]

@ChemistCraig Awesome! Let me know what you think
