The @gilliardgroup is happy to host additional MSCA Postdoctoral Fellows (https://t.co/E9WbmpmQFv) with interest in #maingroup chemistry and/or PAHs!

[Nathan Frey @nathan_frey_]

This was a very fun (albeit challenging) project to work on with @samiriisc! Glad to finally see it published!

[Robert J. Gilliard, Jr. @RJGilliard]

Our manuscript on borinine-FLP mediated bond activation and ring expansion is now online @ChemicalScience! https://t.co/Y8gvoOpiSv @nathan_frey_ @samiriisc #maingroup

[Samir Kumar Sarkar @samiriisc]

We are looking for a highly motivated Junior Research Fellow (JRF) to work on a project titled "Oligo-Thiophene-Conjugated Air-Stable Fluorescent Organic Radicals" in the Department of Chemistry at IIT Guwahati, Assam.

[Nathan Frey @nathan_frey_]

Very excited to have shared my research and represented @gilliardgroup in front of the world's best boron chemists at #BORAM18!

[Nathan Frey @nathan_frey_]

The best synthetic mentor a former computational chemist could ask for! I’m so glad to have worked with @kkhollister19 (and made a mess on her side of the glovebox one too many times) over the past three years!

[Robert J. Gilliard, Jr. @RJGilliard]

A truly masterful thesis defense and body of work by @kkhollister19! We are grateful for her contributions to the field and leadership in the @gilliardgroup over the years! Dr. Hollister will be joining Dow Chemical R&D as a Senior Research Specialist! #VeryProudPI

Nothing says “vacation time” more than flooding your fume hood with glycol twice in two days

[MIT Chemistry @ChemistryMIT]

Researchers in the @gilliardgroup have found a way to make molecules known as acenes more stable, allowing them to build molecules that emit red, orange, yellow, green, or blue light, which could make acenes easier to deploy in a variety of applications.

@samiriisc has been a huge influence on me as a chemist over the last two years! His best advice: “just grow a crystal.” Can’t wait to see the great things you do at IIT Guwahati!

[Robert J. Gilliard, Jr. @RJGilliard]

It's a bittersweet moment but we are certainly thrilled that Dr. Samir Sarkar is moving on to start his independent career at IIT Guwahati, joining a rapidly growing and strong #maingroup community in India!

[Nathan Frey @nathan_frey_]

That’s MY glovebox buddy!

[Kim Hollister @kkhollister19]

I’m honored to receive an @AAUW American Dissertation Fellowship to finish my PhD @ChemistryMIT! This AAUW funding program has supported women scholars since 1888. https://t.co/ac02FRELGO

[Nathan Frey @nathan_frey_]

@PatrickLab_MS @chem_msstate It definitely wouldn’t have been possible without all of the great faculty at State!

[Gilliard Group @gilliardgroup]

The @gilliardgroup research retreat is underway. @nathan_frey_ presents some of his work with @ac_obi! #maingroup

[Nathan Frey @nathan_frey_]

Arguably my favorite author. This is a tough one
