“A day in the library could save you a year in the lab.”. Easily the most important lesson my own advisor taught me, that as tempting as experiments may be on any given day, there is no substitute for thought, understanding, and context.

After many visits to the @Caltech turtle pond my daughter is beyond turtle obsessed… so no surprise that when she got Mehndi for the very first time, she asked for a turtle design! ❤️🐢

Seminar day in Caltech Chemistry and Chemical Engineering @CaltechCCE is one of my favorite traditions. A fully student organized and student run day-long conference with talks by students and postdocs in the Division - so much better than hearing about your neighbors amazing

A shoutout to Channing Klein @radicalchem for the awesome photo idea, Clara Seo for motivating a new photo, Maria Blankemeyer for taking these photos, and Anukta Jain @AnuktaJ2, Spencer Delgado, Emma Cosner @emmaelectron, Kalipada Koner @KP_Koner, Channing Klein @radicalchem, and.

And… our new group photo! We think of ourselves as chefs of the molecular world, taking pride in our hood-to-table practices. Our ingredients are electricity, carbon dioxide, water, nitrogen, and microbes. Come see what we’re cooking!

Our group spent some time making some props for a new group photo … can anyone guess what we are making? 🤔

Grateful to @MooreFound for support of our research on electrified synthesis of epoxides! .Thankful to @ManthiramLab members who did pioneering work in this space including @ksjinerg, @chung_minju, @ChenyuJ98, @JasonSAdams, @KP_Koner and many others.

Beyond thrilled to have you join us at Caltech, Sujit, and to have you down the hallway!.

Babies everywhere, it’s time to take diaper shopping into your own hands … head to @Target and fill up a cart with Kudos cotton-lined diapers and wipes! The planet (and your skin) will thank you! . In awe of my wife @AmritaSaigal for taking a prototype she developed five years

Excited for my wife @amritasaigal as @KudosToBaby.diapers continues to grow! Been amazing to see you go from having just one prototype diaper in your hands to having sold >20 million diapers. Shoutout to our in-house diaper tester Avni!💩😁 🩷.

Go Joy, so excited to watch your lab grow and your vision take off!!.

Go Justin!! Looking forward to having you postdoc in our lab!.

N2 + protons + lithium -> NH3. RT, 1 bar, 1 reactor. Remarkable to think where this chemistry has gone since it was first reported by Fichter and Erlenmeyer in Germany in 1930, built on by Tsuneto in Japan in 1994, and then a significant acceleration of efforts beginning around.
