@DrSharmarke @KMirica @GordonConf Congrats and looking forward to future conferences

[Katherine Mirica 🇺🇦 @KMirica]

Many thanks to the amazing @aicooper for chairing a fantastic Crystal Engineering @GordonConf! It was awesome to connect with other MOFers, like @UNISTMOON @CoryMSimon @UAchemist!

[Brian Smith @brianjcsmith]

@ivana_brekalo @GordonConf @aicooper @KM_Hutchins @nick_vukotic @patjulienRMC @EmmaWolpert @RS_Chemist @M_Arhangelskis @HolmanChemistry @mferguson249 @Catherine_Xuyz Agreed, great time catching up!

@Dichtel Congrats Will!

[Brian Smith @brianjcsmith]

Congrats to our four undergraduate coauthors Mikayla, Caylee, Rosemarie and Brody, and all the great work they did. #PUI

Our new @ChemCommun, @NSF collab with Hasan Arslan, crystallography by Bob Pike. Fun growing crystals using host-guest equilibria (fast) rather than messing with antisolvents or heating. https://t.co/Z6bnBX6tjz

@Gassensmith I'll echo Nanome. I've been using it in research & teaching for a few years now. Happy to chat offline.

Congrats to the #NobelPrize winners for click chemistry, such a broadly impactful synthetic approach. Using click on surfaces and materials was the core of my PhD work, so it'll always be a special reaction for me

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

BREAKING NEWS:
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”

A lot of fun being part of this review team: not just all the awesome science, but getting to interact with @Dichtelians from across the (many) years. Congrats! @Dichtel @AustinMEvans @AmandaCorcos @Strauss_MJ @hirani_zoheb @WoojungJi @LeslieHamachi https://t.co/j5p0b2ck62

When Gerald Bauldock ’79 began making drawings years ago to help his toddler son learn the basics of chemistry, he didn’t imagine where those sketches would lead him. The project has blossomed into a series of books, Kids for Chemistry. ⚛️ Read more: https://t.co/BCdQ7Q9S3r

For anyone in the central PA area interested in laboratory experience, we are now hiring a research technician for a short-term full time position. See link for details. https://t.co/tIHAxlNGwH

[Brian Smith @brianjcsmith]

Big congrats to my postdoc mentor Will @Dichtel being named 2020 @BlavatnikAwards Laureate in Chemistry. Well-deserved! It was a real pleasure working in the @Dichtelians group.

What is perplexing is that scientists continue to assert these opinions without evidence when a large body of data show the opposite: that diverse teams are more creative, more productive, and more innovative. Examples below.

[Paul Walton @paulhwalton]

It's rare I take to Twitter, but I cannot stay silent over the recent article in Angewandte Chemie @angewchem about organic chemistry and diversity which is a disgrace. https://t.co/4yYt55gfmE

[Brian Smith @brianjcsmith]

@NUChemistry @OmarFarha5 Congrats!!

[Brian Smith @brianjcsmith]

@DKBucar @TomislavFriscic Agreed! But postponing is the right call. It'll be a great time getting everyone back together in 2022 (something to look forward to)

[Brian Smith @brianjcsmith]

Recent work studying the electronic structure of 2D COFs. Congrats to Dan et al. - I was happy to help out! https://t.co/sn9nkm7L1V

[Moria Chambers @moriacc]

And it's out! Check out our paper on chronic infection in fruit flies - 3rd paper we've published with two great Cornell undergrads @SarahInTheField @Twin285 @bplazzaro @PLOSONE
