My last paper of graduate school is out! What a joy working on this unique borane, can't wait to see how research on B18H22 progresses in the future

[Alex Spokoyny @organomimetic]

Check out our most recent work led by @Kierstyn_A on tackling programmable functionalization of complex polynuclear boranes: Metal-Catalyzed and Metal-Free Nucleophilic Substitution of 7-I-B18H21 https://t.co/6QntS4CnCi

[Kierstyn Anderson, PhD @Kierstyn_A]

Excited to finally share this fascinating luminescence chemistry! Thanks again to all of our hard working collaborators

[Alex Spokoyny @organomimetic]

Our work led by @Kierstyn_A and collaborators from @jrcaram, @USCChemistry, @AFResearchLab and @BlueHalo_LLC is out! Benchmarking the dynamic luminescence properties and UV stability of B18H22-based materials - now published in Dalton Transactions https://t.co/3Qf7Bs9s5l

Congrats to our current PhD student Yessica Nelson (not on twitter) and former undergraduate Alex Umanzor @PinacolWhipped on receiving NSF GRFP awards and former undergraduate Fadi Alsarhan @fadialsarhan on his honorable mention!

Was great to have @SaraSkrabalak yesterday for a @MilliporeSigma lecture @uclachem! So refreshing to finally have in person seminars and human interactions back.

[Alex Spokoyny @organomimetic]

Congrats to our newly minted PhD #8, Dr. Nick Bernier!!! And best of luck with your new @theNCI gig!

Congrats to Ovie! We are excited to have her back in the lab this Fall

[UCLA Chem & Biochem @uclachem]

Ovie Soman (Spokoyny lab) is the recipient of the Dr. Ravi and Aparna Bikkina Family Scholarship. Congrats! Many thanks to Dr. Ravi ’94 and Aparna Bikkina for the generous donation to make this scholarship possible. https://t.co/kKpoKm9Hug @organomimetic

Very sad to learn that Fred Hawthorne passed away this morning. He was a true chemistry trailblazer and inspiration for many of us. Here is an editorial from two years ago about some of Fred’s contributions: https://t.co/eQ9lV14eYK

Super excited to share our first virtual reality chemistry resources with the world! Check out our tutorial on how you can explore organic chemistry with a VR headset: https://t.co/BKHKvWJ8VF

Thanks @2xDC!

Super proud of our group’s undergraduates Fadi Al Sarhan @fadialsarhan and Ila Castro @ila_castro who will be starting their PhD work in Fall at @UCB_Chemistry and @MichiganChem, respectively!

[Alex Spokoyny @organomimetic]

Excited about our new preprint: Cysteine Borylation in Unprotected Peptides. We show how organometallic Pt(II) reagents can transfer a boryl-based carborane onto a Cys residue and impart new properties in peptides including improved proteolytic stability https://t.co/jVtihL25IU

[Alex Spokoyny @organomimetic]

New preprint from the group describing our continued adventures developing organometallic Au(III) reagents for bioconjugation and building hybrid peptide-based materials: https://t.co/69Ik5I05q5

I've been super impressed with the COVID testing system at @UCLA. Weekly testing, 24 hour results make me feel much better about working on campus this winter!

We did it, America!
