What's all the chatter about CHOPs? It's a fantastic way to learn about the #UWMadisonChem Ph.D. Hear more from someone who's experienced this program firsthand. https://t.co/1yFHk5Tz8H

An excellent seminar and super fun visit for us! Huge thanks for coming out to Madison.

[Beth Elacqua @beth_elacqua]

Thoroughly enjoyed the visit to @UWMadisonChem this week. Many thanks to @aj_boydston for hosting me, along with @TehshikYoon, @weixgroup, @JeffChem, and @Stahl_Lab (and others!) for some sharing some outstanding science on the trip. Really great program being built at UW!

Congratulations to #UWMadisonChem's Shannon Stahl, Steenbock Professor of Chemical Sciences — for election into membership in the National Academy of Sciences. Stahl has published more than 270 papers and has been awarded 20 patents. @Stahl_lab https://t.co/1QZIyXQpU6

New Paper! My favorite part of @grace_lutovsky and Sam's latest in @Chem_CP is Figure 6: first they identified an unexpected side product, then they realized what it told us about mechanism, and then they figured out how to leverage it to expand scope. https://t.co/eLsQHk8Hw1

Great news out of Oregon!

The House has passed HB2002. It expands transgender healthcare to ALL procedures... hair removal, voice therapy, face surgery.

It also removes parental consent for abortions.

This is huge!

Breaking group Twitter policy to add a personal note (SSS here)... Such a wonderful surprise yesterday! Shout out to the students, postdocs, colleagues, collaborators, staff and others with whom I’ve had the joy of ‘doing science’ @UWMadisonChem. I feel very fortunate-thank you!!

Too much fun work to do for our small group, so we're #hiring! Two open postdoc positions in beautiful New Mexico for all things polymer!

Check out our new platform for alkene aminofunctionalization! We found that dicationic adducts of alkenes and thianthrene undergo selective single substitution by phthalimide to provide a sulfonium salt that can be substituted with various nucleophiles. https://t.co/chJep7PmOU
