Thank you @CAMalapit and @NUChemistry for an amazing couple of days. It was a pleasure to meet so many incredibly students and faculty and talk about your research and the future of chemical education.
We’re honored to have Simon Blakey @SimonBBlakey deliver the Carroll King Lectures here at @NUChemistry. Prof. Blakey gave two inspiring lectures on their scientific work in the Blakey lab and thier innovative teaching at @EmoryChem. Thank you for visiting us!

Congrats @FangLiu_Emory !!! Look forward to hearing about the exciting discoveries emerging from this work!
Emory chemist Fang Liu received $875,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy for her work aimed at optimizing the use of light to spark the transfer of an electron (photoredox catalysis). https://t.co/zy4t1AMvRS

Advances in XEC with insight from @weixgroup and @Sigman_Lab - we're excited to read this one - congrats team.
Our work on developing improved ligands for XEC with @Sigman_Lab and @pfizer is now online at @J_A_C_S! Check it out for insights into how geometry and electron density affect selectivity (and finding a new ligand for XEC). Congrats Michelle and Brett! https://t.co/okgOQD3NAn

The Neufeldt lab is looking to hire 1-3 new grad students to start in fall 2024 to work on mechanistic organometallic research. We like to ask the questions "why?" and "how?" and then "can we make it do something different?" https://t.co/LyvBJPVCVY
