wow, snow-making machines depend on this bacterial protein to nucleate ice

thank you P syringae for enabling snowboarding on the East coast

Our first pre-print is live! We harness the power of voltage-controlled electrolysis by developing Shono-type amination. Electroanalytical tools guide selective oxidation of substrate over nucleophile, enabling predictable and modular C–N bond formation.

Next chapter in our hypervalent adventure! how would you access polyhalogenated biaryls in a perfectly selective way? Great collaboration with ⁦@Merck⁩ ⁦@chair_itn⁩! congratulations to ⁦@danielcarter_96⁩ Maxime et ⁦@PascalHauk⁩ https://t.co/hXs1IKJXae

@XMa75870843 I never get these emails. How did you find yourself on this donor list?

[NaOH Bartfield, PhD 🧪 @NaOHBartfield]

Out now in Science, my first co-first author paper! Proud to have worked so hard with this team. Photochemical logic was instrumental in accessing these unique polyhalogenated targets!

@Nouronal Not sure how big of a bag we're talking, but I love me some Dot's pretzel twists. Salty and kind of taste like popcorn butter.

Used paperclips with a class today to show how a catalyst acts as a surface for reactants to come together and form a product. Based on an old magic trick, I got this idea from Paul Nugent from @SonS_Ireland. The ending is a nice surprise for students!

2023 Small Molecule Approvals! @drughuntersite

A lot of fascinating firsts in 2023 including:

-The first FDA-approved oral ER degrader
-The first FDA-approved reversible BTK inhibitor
-The first FDA-approved gamma-secretase inhibitor (not in Alzheimer’s!)
-A reversible covalent, brain-penetrant Nrf2 activator
-The first drug derived from mRNA display screening for macrocyclic peptides
-The first PI3K inhibitor with a first approval outside oncology
-A factor B-targeting Breakthrough Therapy for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
-The first intranasal CGRP antagonist for fast-acting migraine treatment

@Nouronal That's awful! Wishing you a fast recovery!
