People of twitter !!
This month, I was featured on Japan’s one of the most popular TV show, Waratte Koraete, with an average audience of over 30 million !!
In the 12-minute interview, I discussed my research on enzyme mimics catalyst. @warakora_ntv
Missed #RSCposter last year and was thinking of joining #RSCposter2025. Realized it's now on LinkedIn?! Why though?🤦🏽♂️ LinkedIn is more for real-job searching, and business-related, not the ideal place for events like this.
Cross-asymmetric reactions of pyruvate will always be one of my favorite reactions! Synthesizing various thiourea catalysts was a lot of fun. A brief SI is included. If you love asymmetric reactions, you'll enjoy this! Thanks @OISTedu for support. @ELSchemistry
Continuing our first report of the pyruvate Mannich reaction (Org. Lett. 2022, 24, 1853), here we present another Mannich reaction with a new type of amine-thiourea catalyst. Very happy to share this article to celebrate @JacobsenLab Tetrahedron prize

@DrLeoRios@britishmuseum Go to Japan! In many touristy places, especially in Kyoto and Osaka in the area near castle, you can wear this. Also, u can even try katana practice lesson for 1-day.

Ir costs $165/g, Au $88/g, Rh $169/g, and Pd $35/g — and by 2050, these metals will be in critically low supply, and prices likely to skyrocket🚀
Much of the chemistry developed with them can’t be replaced by other metals, yet top journals keep publishing majority-
🎉Happy to share that the most exciting part of my PhD research has finally been published! @JOC_OL
🔬I'm excited to introduce a small diamine catalyst, 300 times smaller than the pyruvate aldolase enzyme, performs with precise stereoselectivity

5) they have developed many amazing pyruvate aldolase-catalyzed Aldol reactions.
With this method, you can now make fluorinated chiral hydroxy amino acids from achiral pyruvates🔥
Fully funded postdoc position available at beautiful Okinawa 🪸🐠
Starting October, 2024 or earlier 🗓️
