I started grad school in 2020 when we only knew each other from zoom meetings. I told everyone I was 6’5.
Today, I got my PhD, 4 years after working with these amazing not-so-tall advisors!!
Thank you so much for all the learning opportunities😊
The wonderful @KatieJaneTorma5 just gave an amazing 3rd year seminar on her work towards azaphilone natural product synthesis. We are so proud of our azaphilone QUEEN!👑

Congratulations to @JoshuaThedford and @bobby_m_w for giving phenomenal presentations during their 3rd-year seminar. Josh discussed fluoroalkyl cross-coupling methodologies. Bobby focused on Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling. Amazing job to you both!🙌🎉
The crowning achievement from @efreynoten's thesis studies with important contributions from two rotation students, @bobby_m_w and Cody Ng. N-acylsulfonamides give only phenol products - the simple oxidation state switch to sulfinamides activated the bimolecular coupling pathway!
Sulfinamides for the win 🏆 Congrats to #TeamSmiles 💡 @efreynoten, @bobby_m_w, & Cody Ng on their work showcasing an elegant aminoarylation of alkenes from aryl sulfinamides out today in @NatureChemistry!

A new @CellCellPress Perspective discusses an effort by @cientificolatin to make grad school admissions more equitable & support students from #UnderrepresentedBackgrounds in applying to grad school.
We spoke to 2 of the co-authors about this effort.

Finally, REU student Maxi Ledesma from @UTAustin. Maxi worked on functionalization of aminopyridines using Palladium. Maxi will be a senior at UT this year and plans to attend grad school for chemistry. Yay Maxi!
Next is REU student Audrey Farrell, visiting from @smithcollege. Audrey worked on synthesizing organic molecules for aqueous redox flow batteries. We wish you the best for your future plans! 🎉
Zoe Wachtel (BS from @UofIllinois, Prof. Olshansksy). Zoe is an incoming grad student and summer rotator! She worked on evaluating the use of organic oxidants for one electron oxidation of metal complexes. We are excited to welcome Zoe to Michigan!
@UMich @UMichPrezOno Now, more than ever, GEO grad workers need your support! Please donate to our strike fund at https://t.co/Z4A8P4NG7Y
All donations will support striking workers who've had their pay withheld. Together, we can fight for an @UMich that actually treats its workers with respect!
Denying trans people the healthcare we need is torture. It gets us killed.
The genocide of trans people is already underway—through the removal of our art, our stories, our safety, our healthcare, and ultimately our lives. Brick by brick, policy by policy, they are killing us.
