Waterton is only 1.5 hours away from the University of Lethbridge. ♥️ Isn't that a sweet incentive to come study (chemistry!?) here? @uLethbridge #alberta #canada #rockymountains #waterton #watertonpark #lake #hike

What best way to start a Monday morning that with a smashed car window? 🤔. Oh wait, I can think of a very long list!! 📝 #goodmorningJD. I need happiness. Plz send corgi or funny animal videos!.

Visitors on campus at @uLethbridge. 🦌 They brighten my day every time I see them. 😍 This morning, I wasn't looking where I was walking (you know. texting 🤷♂️) and almost bumped into one. Of the two of us, I am the one who got scared 😂

A nice thing when moving to a new place is to discover gorgeous spots like this one!! 🤩 #lethbridge #coulees #oldmanriver This is mere METERS away from the science building @uLethbridge. Just saying! [#newPI 🤪 #chemistry]

🌨️ The @UofLethbridge is momentarily back to some #wintery weather! ❄️ I don't understand the person that took their bike when I #slipped twice walking the 300m between my car and the Science Commons building. 🤷🏻♂️ Someone is much braver/talented than me!! 😂

Finally got to read this one and it is 🔥! Sweet work on sequential C–F bond functionalizations via spin-center shifts. Partial defluorination is normally very tricky unless a change in hybridization occurs at carbon. #fluorine #fluorinechemistry #science

What a great resource for students and educators alike! 👏 Any new tool to help visualize organic mechanism is most welcome. Fantastic idea, and I am looking forward to more and more content! Listening to students' comments really pays off. #chemistry #organicchemistry #mechanism.
Last semester, a student commented that organic mechanisms were hard to visualize from simple drawings. I searched and could not find a resource that I liked. So now I'm excited to present our take on 3D visualizations of mechanisms, .

Why all this #unnecessary #packaging?? 😭 Fine, it is all recyclable, but doesn't it somewhat defeat the purpose of purchasing syringes in bulk. ? #lab #labstruggle

Today is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Let's celebrate all those #powerful #women that fight social stigma and continuously prove that gender by no means define your ability as a scientist. 👏 #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM #genderequity @WomenScienceDay.
Check out for a look at some outstanding examples of just how powerful women & girls are in driving scientific discovery and innovation. Read their stories and view their videos as they engage and inspire the next generation of scientists. #womeninscience

Hey #chemtwitter, @nadineborduas and I met over #Zoom yesterday and we’d love to connect with other #chemistry #faculty hires of 2021. Starting a #lab is stressful and holding informal meetings to unwind + share our experience would be great! Plz share, RT, and slide in our DMs!.
