Excellent work led by @LuccaTrachsel showcasing the broad utility of novel vinyl monomers bearing pendent triketones - amines (of many flavors) dont stand a chance when these are around. Thankful to be a part of this! @Brent_Sumerlin @Konar_Deb @J_A_C_S

All postdocs in my lab are paid in the range of 85-95K. One of the reasons I can't go beyond is (reverse) equity concerns from HR. I would ideally pay them 105-115K. I think that's how much I could afford based on funding I can pull in & reducing lab size to a functional minimum.
oh you’re hiring a grad student/postdoc? don’t be shy babe show us the salary
