It was an honor and a pleasure to get to give a talk on advances in carbene chemistry and later share a meal at #ACSFall2023 with these amazing scientists/professors I've long look up to!

Right now in Role of Synthetic Innovation in Advancing Medicinal Chemistry in Moscone South rm 21 we have @Sidhill_Phd sharing amazing work on cyclopropanes

Fortunate to have had an amazing opportunity to work with a team of scientists at @sanofi and our work culminating to this article in @ACSCatalysis
Site-Selective C–H Functionalization of N-Aryl and N-Heteroaryl Piperidines, Morpholines, and Piperazines https://t.co/EMxsYZS67P

[Yannick_TB @boyann2002]

Another great work as a result of a fruitful collaboration with great mentors/advisors.

Nobody will remember:
- Your salary
- Your fancy title
- How busy you were
- How many hours you worked

People will remember:
- carbenes do C-H insertion
- they also do cyclopropanation
- and ylide formation
- Wolff rearrangement, too

@adulley_f Thank you for the kind words. Please feel free to DM me for further chatting. Cheers!

[Yannick_TB @boyann2002]

@Spongistatin It is perfectly ok if it does not make sense to you at all. That's why we are all different and unique in our own ways. Also, the post says that I'll be starting med school in the fall. If you must know, I'm simply waiting on scholarship packages before committing to any school

[Yannick_TB @boyann2002]

10 years ago, I came to the US with a dream of becoming a physician. After a BS double majoring in Chemistry and Physics with a minor in Mathematics (AAMU-2017), a PhD in Organic Chemistry (Emory-2022), the dream is still well alive and the journey has been completely necessary.

[Yannick_TB @boyann2002]

@Spongistatin Totally understandable. Fortunately I've been lucky/blessed to not have incurred any student debt up to this point. I greatly appreciate your comments as they're logical and insightful

[Yannick_TB @boyann2002]

@Spongistatin You're absolutely correct, it doesn't make sense economically or time wise but in my humble opinion it's about finding ways to do something you care about while attempting to make a positive impact in the lives of others that really matters. Please see my other comment below

[Yannick_TB @boyann2002]

@VS_PhD I absolutely love both science (Chemistry) and Medicine, and would have pursued an MD/PhD in these areas if the opportunity presented itself earlier. Thanks for that question, I certainly encounter it during my med school interviews.

[Yannick_TB @boyann2002]

Yesterday was a big day as I successfully defended my PhD work on Asymmetric dirhodium Carbene C-H Functionalization as a Complementary Tool to Synthetic Disconnection Strategies. All thanks to my mentors, friends and family for being by my side all the way to this point.
