Not a bad way to get away from chemistry. Just don’t ask about the score. The numbers ain’t even been invented yet 😂

Our first foray into multicomponent aminosilylation where we show excellent reactivity and selectivity without additive base activators is out in #OrgLett. It even works on complex molecules with -COOH groups! Congrats @LeonelBJimenez!

Hello #Chemistry folks, @R2G_UCSD and I are trying to get an idea of community thoughts - do you consider B2pin2 to be a shelf-stable reagent?.

This week, I gave my first departmental colloquium focusing on our work with boron. It was an absolute blast and I can't wait to see more of this out in print soon! Keep your eyes peeled :)

Crazy to see him gone. He was a valuable member of my doctoral committee when I was a graduate student at UCSD then he was an excellent colleague as I started my independent career here at UCSD. All this beyond just being a really great guy. Fly on my friend.

This looks familiar! Thanks for the hype. This was a fun study demonstrating there is definitely more mechanistic work to be done to fully understand PC-free radical generation from these salts.

Had a great time visiting @ucmerced for a seminar on our work with boron and meetings with faculty and students. Lots of great stuff going on there and a beautiful campus. Big thanks to @RebecaA61689283 for the invite and an amazing time!

I am grateful to the DCO for this honor! None would have been possible without the hard work and dedication of teams of talented scientists at @UCSDChemBiochem and @ICBMSLyon. It has been quite a journey #Togo 🇹🇬.🙏 #Gratitude @cnrs_inc.

Paper number 2 for the group! So exciting to see how this research turned from the original idea. Aryl radicals generated with just a Lewis base and light. Congrats to Jonathan Galicia and Nicholas McDonald, the co-MVPs of this work. Keep it up guys!.
