@maria_bebi @DrLCsquare Welcome to Merck!

[Melanie Blackburn @melashort]

Very glad to see this in its final form! This was such a fun project to work on, and I’m so grateful to have been a part of team HCl with @CorinWagen, Raul, @PamTadross, Andrew, @DennisKutatela1, and @JacobsenLab!

[Pamela Tadross @PamTadross]

Bravo and my sincere thanks to @melashort @CorinWagen Raul, Andrew, @DennisKutatela1 and @JacobsenLab for their outstanding work on this project almost 10 (!) years after I started it as a postdoc. This was the last unpublished work from my grad and postdoc years!

Hey @framebridge - how can I talk to an actual human asap? We just received someone else’s framed art and ours is missing from our order! Only chat, text, and email options? Would love real human help!

[Melanie Blackburn @melashort]

Excited to share what I’ve been up to in the @JacobsenLab! Now on @ChemRxiv, we show the ability to control highly reactive carbocations in enantioselective protio-semipinacol rearrangement reactions.

[Corin Wagen @CorinWagen]

How can one achieve high enantioselectivity (∆∆G‡=2.1 kcal/mol) in a nearly barrierless reaction (∆G‡<3 kcal/mol)? With @melashort, I'm excited to share new work addressing this question in the context of protio-semipinacol rearrangements: https://t.co/kxmMAjSLvQ

I’d also like to thank the many authors I’ve supported over the past 3 years for their partnership during the peer review process. I’ve learned so much from your work and look forward to seeing what you all do next!

[Pamela Tadross @PamTadross]

A bit of news - today will be my last official day as Associate Editor of @OPRD_ACS after a fantastic 3 years in the role. After moving to a new role at Merck in mid-2022 that was outside the API space entirely, I felt it made sense to step back after my contract ended.

[Pamela Tadross @PamTadross]

I owe a huge thanks to EiC Kai Rossen and my Associate Editor peers for making this such a wonderful experience! The OPR&D Managing Editors and staff always made sure I had everything I needed to be successful in the role. My successor will be very lucky to work with them all!

[Pamela Tadross @PamTadross]

@thestoltzgroup Love seeing these “surprise” parties continue! Happy birthday, Brian!!

There’s no better preparation for life than being a Mets fan.

[Pamela Tadross @PamTadross]

This made my day, @WilliamPeiShih! I think I learned more from my experience as a TA than in my classes. 😊

[William Pei Shih @WilliamPeiShih]

Make no mistake, Maitland Jones’s textbook is a fantastic book, which helped me understand how to see organic reactions from the perspective of molecular orbital theory. Also @PamTadross, you were my chem TA. I still remember studying your review sheets! 😍

[Pamela Tadross @PamTadross]

Maitland Jones has had a profound impact on generations of organic chemistry students, both through his textbook and his teaching. Firing him won't solve your problem, @nyuniversity. As an alumna, I'm very disappointed.

[Pamela Tadross @PamTadross]

When I was at NYU, I learned organic chemistry from Maitland Jones before he actually taught there. His book (in my basement, heavily annotated) is one of the reasons I fell in love with organic chemistry. (Also has a few Mets references!) This is a lazy decision, @nyuniversity.

[Chemjobber @Chemjobber]

NYT article about Maitland Jones, Jr.'s firing by the NYU administration | lots of interesting quotes from the NYU chemistry community https://t.co/bO54zm4lxA

[Pamela Tadross @PamTadross]

Many themes discussed in the article by the faculty are not limited to NYU. It's really clear from talking to many of you too that the pandemic has been disastrous for learning. Rather than trying to understand why students are struggling and problem solve, they just gave up.

[Pamela Tadross @PamTadross]

Wednesday will mark one month since I arrived in Puerto Rico for an assignment that will challenge me like none other in my career at Merck. I’m proud to share I’ve started as the site tech ops lead at our Las Piedras Operations site. Absolutely love working with this team!

[Pamela Tadross @PamTadross]

Thanks to @ACSonC for hosting today’s event and the invitation to speak about two of my biggest passions!
