(he/him) currently 👀 for editor positions trans guy, inorganic kinetics & mechanisms. postdoc @ Reed College. Rocks, bikes, & smashing gender bias.

Excited to share the @BowringGroup’s latest paper & my first postdoc publication! Congrats to the Pt squad on this undertaking 🍾 Learn how we used common kinetic techniques to interrogate a large KIE, soliciting an exciting new mechanistic finding!

Do you know a new or soon-to-be Ph.D. who likes organometallic mechanisms, undergrad research, & the Pacific Northwest? We have a postdoc position available in the Bowring group at Reed College! https://t.co/doWzREpjCF Here's me with both rockstar past postdocs:

@OneEarth_CP I have a few questions about the associate editor opening! If you DM me I’d be happy to chat/email about them.

[Mackiewicz Lab @Mack_Lab]

It took me a while to get here for those that know my journey. To whoever told me NTTF can’t got to TTF and get tenure. You were wrong.
Today I became an associate professor with indefinite tenure 2 years in and doing the best chemistry at @OSUScience of my life and loving it!

@nanobrumberg @ACSPublications Thank you for the kind words and encouragement! Your comment about the challenge/stress of reestablishing care also touches to intersection of disability. You are so right, that task is not trivial and varies tremendously from person to person based on care needs.

[Dr. Irving “Deuterolysis” Rettig @irv_does_chem]

I am deeply saddened to be ending my job search with @ACSPublications . I hope that in the future publishing employers can consider the complex but important issue of locational freedom in employment for transgender people (1/7, image is my remote request as a subject resource).

[Dr. Irving “Deuterolysis” Rettig @irv_does_chem]

by shining a light on what it now may mean to support a transgender employee in the US. Allies, we need our community now more than ever, & if you want to support that in another tangible way, please consider the importance of locational flexibility for trans employees. (7/7)

[Dr. Irving “Deuterolysis” Rettig @irv_does_chem]

employee was not there & my remote status was rejected. As my relocation in the immediate future is not negotiable, I terminated my candidacy with ACS publications. I share this experience to express my disappointment, but more so to help future transgender applicants, (6/7)

A culmination of some great synthetic ideas, challenges, & synthesis from my favorite tellurium trio! @TheresaMMcCorm1 @KMH_Chem
Stoked to have another wonderfully colorful tellurorhodamine publication out 💙🦋🧢🐟🐬 (yes you should play Eiffel65 “Blue, Da Ba Dee” while reading)

[Theresa M McCormick @TheresaMMcCorm1]

A little late, but want to shout out our latest paper on oxidation of tellurium containing rhodamine derivatives, a post graduation publication by two great chemists, @irv_does_chem and @KMH_Chem.
