After a fierce competition, @nagiblab’s new carbene precursors emerge as our paper of the year for 2022! We thought this was a fascinating study with immense practical implications. Looking forward to seeing how this work shakes up carbene chemistry. https://t.co/77bjHfTqaA
Last week, we held our annual Paper of the Year meeting, during which we celebrated the great chemistry published in 2022. This year’s winner was the @nagiblab’s Carbene Reactivity from Alkyl and Aryl Aldehydes https://t.co/SzQAoblYpU
I’m definitely developing my “have fun anyways” skills. The older you get, fun has to be a decision. Something will always go wrong, surprise expenses pop up, people’s mood around you will be horrible, you get tired, there will always be an inconvenience, but… HAVE FUN ANYWAYS.
