NOS + 100 years —> an awesome time

So grateful for the hard work of my team. If you are at NOS check out the posters of my students. Charles Teeples (S62) and Liam Murphy (S56) at 800pm and Emily Arnold (T60) on Tuesday! Be there or be square. I mean triangle. 🙂

The next #NOS2025 plenary speaker is @Sidhill_Phd (@SmwhLab) of @uncchemistry. This is his first NOS talk and he is the 5th UNC chemist to speak. His research involves organic synthesis and catalysis, including orphaned cyclopropanes. #returntotheroots

Have a look at the work of Vladyslav @Vlad__Smyrnov on accessing cyclopropeniums via a radical-polar crossover approach in @angew_chem . Our work complete recent breakthroughs of @MarcosGSuero and @SmwhLab to make cyclopropeniums more accessible.

My rotators and grad students got together on the last day of rotations for a final Molecule of the Month activity! Loved all of the very creative proposals ranging from biomimetic to those exploiting methods developed in our group! Also thanks @DuckDonuts for awesome donuts! 🤤

[Synthesis Workshop @MatthewHorwitz1]

IT'S FINALLY HERE! Starting October 28th, the Synthesis Workshop Advanced Organic Chemistry course will begin releases through our regular YouTube channel for FREE, thanks to the massive efforts of presenters from many researchers from academia and industry!

Support by sharing!
