@daddy_spatty I was waiting for someone to post this!

@megannn_lynne My brother and I call that Temptation Salad lol.

Exciting results out now in @ACSCatalysis! Third year Ramsey and colleagues have developed a C-H bond sequential addition to dienes and imines with interesting mechanistic studies. 🟥+🔵+🔶 Check it out below:

Big congrats to @jihyeonyeo on her first first-author paper, and for driving this awesome project!

[Ellman Lab @ellman_lab]

Thrilled to share our latest work, by @jihyeonyeo and @JosephPTassone, out in Org Lett now! ✨ We harness isocyanates for the synthesis of α-aliphatic quaternary amides with a Cp*Co(III) catalyst. Check it out below 👇🏼

Very happy the cat was rescued, but I’m sorry: “The cat got into the ceiling”?! How?!? Nobody in the QTs or replies is acknowledging this and I feel like I can’t be the only person wondering lol

[Ottawa Fire Services @OttFire]

Firefighters from Station 36 had their work cut out for them today when they spent 1.5 hours trying to locate a family cat that had been missing for 3 days in the 1800 block of Thornecrest St.

The cat got into the ceiling 3 days ago but, through the use of a thermal imaging camera, Firefighters were able to determine that the cat fell down a shaft and was at the bottom of a wall near the front door.

The cat was safely extricated and there will be some minor drywall repairs to be done.🐱🚒

@AriaAber Not sure about ‘best’ in the sense you’re going for, but this has stayed with me even though I read it years ago: “In this manner, the issue was decided.” from Raymond Carver’s “Popular Mechanics”. (I get squeamish even thinking about it.)

[Joseph Tassone @JosephPTassone]

@Devin_Heroux Thank you for your coverage, Devin! As a Canadian living abroad, I really appreciated your updates - easily the highlights of my days the past two weeks!

@JonathanJanz I’m a little late (and I don’t think I saw it in the replies), but “It Follows”.

@VanceE I’m curious - what is mitochondrial dysfunction and how is methylene blue supposed to help with it?

[Joseph Tassone @JosephPTassone]

@echoey13 I agree pre-conceived ideas may contribute to difficulties (the pre-supposed “hardness” of the class, a reliance on memorization). With this in mind, I think the teacher’s role is to provide all students with their expectations and the tools for successfully meeting them.

[Joseph Tassone @JosephPTassone]

@AxelBlaster But beyond that, why can’t institutions make reasonable accommodations in every instance? In my mind, there’s no excuse not to.

[Joseph Tassone @JosephPTassone]

@AxelBlaster In Dr. Fiss’s case, it is. The McGill Charter of Students’ Rights: “The University makes every reasonable effort to provide an appropriate environment for learning and assessment activities…including the provision of safe and suitable conditions for learning and study.”

@blacklionking73 I’m about halfway through and really enjoying it!

[Chemistry World @ChemistryWorld]

Stipends for graduate students in Canada have not risen for 20 years. Almost 90% of graduate students say they experience financial stress, according to a survey by @OttawaSciPolNet. Almost a third have considered leaving their studies due to finances.

Check out this simple and robust synthesis of N-acylsulfenamides now out in the special edition of Synthesis dedicated to Prof. David A. Evans. Proud of our undergraduate co-first author, Jessica Liu, mentor @DanBrandes4 and Nate. @thiemechemistry
