4 years, 27 failed routes, and 95 trips to the eucalyptus grove later. *disclaimer: numbers adjusted for inflation 🙃. Thankful to the whole team @Shenvi_Lab.

Happy to share on ChemRxiv our stereoselective synthesis of (–)-eugenial C via MHAT/SH2 iron catalysis. It took trial and error, rational design and even a little citizen science to locally source our starting material (thanks @SDNHM Plant Atlas!!).

Fall fashions have arrived. Inner-sphere is out, outer-sphere is in. A new @ACSPublications Accounts from @__simonalisa__ summarizes our group's development of first-row metal catalysis to enable fragment coupling en route to bioactive natural products.

What if you could push the limits of electrochemistry without breaking your electrodes? #alternatingpolarity.Thanks @BaranLabReads @YuKawamata @KaidHarper and the @abbvie team for this inspiring collaboration.An incredible journey made possible by @MSCActions.#realtimechem

I am appalled that @angew_chem would publish such a racist, sexist, and anti-diversity article. The scientific community needs to step up and shape the future of the field by stamping out intolerance toward the very diversity that helps our science flourish.

@MJCliffe This paper contains opinions that don't reflect our values and has been removed. It wasn't the final version and is pending further editing and final review. Something went very wrong here and we're committed to do better. This isn't who we are and action will be taken.

Congrats @yuzururururu on this massive feat -completing the 13+ year synthesis of this monster of a molecule! I have nothing but awe for you as a chemist. Thank you for your mentorship, friendship, and for obsessing over ice cream with me. Scripps wont be the same without you.

Lab restrictions and shutdowns have reoriented the timelines of @scrippsresearch students and postdocs. So, we're going to spend a few tweets preemptively celebrating lab members and their respective projects, which may wrap up a few weeks later than expected….
