It’s so easy to lose sight of your “why” when the stress of work and life piles on especially at this time of year. I’m making a concerted effort to shift my focus back on to the “why” in these final weeks of the semester. #AcademicChatter

Halloween fun! The Martell lab celebrated spooky season this year dressing as Gru, his adorable daughters, and a horde of mischievous minions from the movie, Despicable Me! Rest assured – no lab goggles were harmed in the making of these costumes!

Martell lab goes to the state capital! Undergraduate researcher, Max Unger presented his research on plastic recycling enzymes at Research in Rotunda. We are so proud of him!

All good stuff at journal club this week, but this one is my must-read for sure. This is a beautiful display of bio/photo/organic/etc. (!) chemistry😁

[Lizzy Sielaff 🧬 @lizzychemistry]

Congrats to my lab mates for their amazing new publication on switchable DNA photocatalysts for radical polymerization!

[Martell Group @Martell_Group]

Our newest paper is out in @J_A_C_S! Great work by Caleb, Ashley and @chemworldofJP!

[Lizzy Sielaff 🧬 @lizzychemistry]

I’m so excited to be a part of such an amazing group!

[Martell Group @Martell_Group]

Looking forward to research with our newest labmates: Leslie, Lizzy, Eli, and Zach! Welcome to the Martell Group!

@cycl0pentadiene I always remember triple d - downfield is more deshielded and decreased electron density

First ever publication! Super proud of my part in this timely research

@MayaGosztyla Please do!

@MayaGosztyla Do you use notion for other things too like task management?

@Dr_Lashley I often try to say both words at once and accidentally get “scapula” way too often. Maybe left over from my biomedical major days…

My favorite October tradition… ACS abstracts submitted! Hoping I can attend my first in-person national conference this year

My latest addition to the bee chemistry art vibe on the left! The molecule is Melittin, the main component in honey bee venom! Interestingly it’s one of the smallest known proteins to fold spontaneously! The flowers are apple blossoms, a favorite of honey bees. 🌸🐝 #chemtwitter

@Dr_Culberson As an extroverted chemist currently applying to grad school this makes me so happy to hear!

Thank god I can finally do my reactions in pumpkin spice acetonitrile

Any grad program that is going to reject you based upon grades that you received during a pandemic is probably not a program that you want to spend 3-5 years of your life at.

I feel so honored to be a part of such an amazing department!
