@meghanamanda_16 @danithechemist I’ll kick this off! What is the most significant obstacle you have faced and how did you navigate it?

What is the difference between a minority and non-minority faculty member you ask? I spent my Monday morning being emotionally affected by a racial comment in my course evals and trying to find a productive solution to address it instead of writing my group's paper. #minorityprof

Never thought I would be at #MerckChemistry but here we are! I did my PhD in the @uwyoongroup and a postdoc with the @HartwigGroup before starting my career in the Automation group at @BMS. I then moved to Process Chemistry @GileadSciences before coming to @Merck! #TBT

[Meghan Baker @meghanamanda_16]

Very excited to be a representative of @Merck DPC in SSF! A bit about me - I’m a native Texan and got my BS in biochemistry at UT Austin🤘in 2016. After finding a passion for research there I decided to pursue my PhD with @Shenvi_Lab at @ScrippsGradPrgm.

MEDI has a great program for #ACSSpring2022! Hope to see you in person in San Diego or virtually! Feel free to comment here with your presentation title!

We engineered a P450 to oxidize sclareol at C6. No HPLC/GC needed, just good ol' TLC. And of course we make some complex terpenes after. Great job Fuzhuo and Heping!
