Wow! @MCHammer just tweeted out our recently published HOT Green Chemistry article @green_rsc! It was my first project @corteva & we developed some awesome #GreenChemistry. You should check it out because it’s free to read and @MCHammer says so!

@zackbuc1 @danithechemist @MichiganChem Oh geez….that is quite the compliment from you, or dare I say “exemplary leadership-y” compliment.

Or maybe that is just what happens after being a great mentor for, wait for it… 13+ years!

[Nicholas R. Babij @NicholasRBabij]

@zackbuc1 @MichiganChem Very special indeed. Great day for the @montgomery_lab rotator hood alumni trophy case!

[Nicholas R. Babij @NicholasRBabij]

@lorsbach_beth Thanks Beth. Impossible to thank you enough for all your support and mentorship!

[Nicholas R. Babij @NicholasRBabij]

@AgProcessRnD Thanks for being an amazing mentor. I am so lucky my first industrial reaction was on a project with you and that your last reaction ended up being a part of our 5th project together! Pretty amazing run.

[Nicholas R. Babij @NicholasRBabij]

@arvind_jag @CortevaUS We also highlight how discovery chemists drive the development of sustainable products @corteva through strategic design!

If you’re interested in what #GreenChemistry looks like on a massive (read - Agrochemistry!) scale, check out this work from ⁦@CortevaUS⁩ process chemists summarizing multiple years of research. Total renewable carbon content ~50%! #CortevaChemistry https://t.co/88caDJ23lp

@T_K_Shah @nick_deprez @danithechemist @T_K_Shah funny thing is that you keep adding stereocenters but my cost target remains the same. Good times!

[Nicholas R. Babij @NicholasRBabij]

Absolutely @AgProcessRnD and @Derick_R_White , I pledge to oppose racism and hate through active allyship, continuous unlearning, learning, and listening. Join us by nominating others to do the same. #BlackLivesMatter   ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽 @SimonLCurrie

@T_K_Shah @zackbuc1 @Derick_R_White How early do you envisioning using it in a meeting? I have been in meetings where it should be used within a few minutes after starting!

[Nicholas R. Babij @NicholasRBabij]

@Derick_R_White @Gatorman_18 My old hood! My last day was six years ago this month!

[Nicholas R. Babij @NicholasRBabij]

Excellent review! Congrats Qiang, Nic, @Xiaoyon23052390 @suhevasces and @AgProcessRnD!

@danithechemist @thehullgroup1 @DipaKalyani1 @Merck Congrats! Super impressive @danithechemist! So lucky to have you as a mentor in grad school! And even more fortunate to learn from so many amazing scientists publishing in this issue @Sanford_Lab @NeufeldtLab Kaitlyn Gray, @SchindlerLab @lorsbach_beth @AlisonNarayanUM

[Nicholas R. Babij @NicholasRBabij]

@zackbuc1 @T_K_Shah Maize and blue will be a great look for @T_K_Shah

[Nicholas R. Babij @NicholasRBabij]

@danithechemist Excellent work Brett* - Making @Wolfe_Group proud!

[Nicholas R. Babij @NicholasRBabij]

@AgProcessRnD @JanelleKKirsch @zackbuc1 @Derick_R_White @corteva Bold commentary @AgProcessRnD. you remember I am the one that encouraged you to join Twitter right?

[Organic Process Research & Development @OPRD_ACS]

Safety alert: @corteva scientists find unexpected exothermic behavior across a wide range of common Pd-catalyzed reactions. Get the details here:

[Nicholas R. Babij @NicholasRBabij]

I ran hundreds of Pd-cat rxns in my 5 years in @Wolfe_Group @MichiganChem, including "scale-up" for total synthesis. Never fully understood the full scope of hazards until becoming a process chemist @corteva. We hope this review will be an educational resource for all chemists.
