And no, Rachaad's 50+ yarder just now does not change this fact. His stats tonight are going to be saved on that play alone.

How long will it take the Buccs to realize that Rachaad White is not 'that guy' but they literally have 'that guy' in Bucky Irving. .

I'm very honored to receive UNC's Postdoctoral Award for Research Excellence. I've had a wonderful time these last few years exploring the world of PCET kinetics and mechanisms. Here's to hoping for many more as an independent P.I. next Fall!.

If you're at ACS - Denver and interested in learning about buffer-enhanced PCET, join me at 9:35 MST in the Mile High ballroom room 2B where I'll be discussing our latest work using transient absorption spectroscopy to study buffer-base effects on interfacial PCET!.

I’ve been a bit absent from twitter the last six months but apparently people have missed the papers I post. Stay tuned after conference season ends and there will be more to come!.

Just flew in an exit-row seat for the first time and as a tall person this has been a life-changing event. Excited to see all my friends at the GRC this week!.

I'm reading Michael Crichton's "Jurassic Park" and I don't know what's more unbelievable: the dinosaurs or the fact that Alan Grant was running a field research operation off of just $30,000 of funding from the Hammond Foundation. .

208: This was an interesting article. I've always been curious whether the metal or the porphyrin is the formally reduced species that operates during these catalytic reactions. This report suggests it's the porphyrin!.

Iron porphyrins can act as potent electrocatalysts for CO2 functionalization. The catalytically active species has been proposed to be a formal Fe(0) porphyrin complex, [Fe(TPP)]2– (TPP = tetraphen...

D207: Eva made today's paper easy to find! @enicholschem, could the deviation from the trend in del_S by the -OMe derivative be explained by a hydrogen bond between the -OMe oxygen and the acid that leads to a more ordered transition state?.

@kessm05 Hi Matt, we've measured some temperature-dependent kinetics on these functionalized Fe porphyrins in case you're interested!

D205: Today, I started digging into any literature examples where temperature-dependent studies have been done on PCET systems. I actually couldn't find many papers on it, so if anyone has suggestions let me know!.

D203: This is some very interesting work coming from @swierklab on tattoo ink compositions! The introduction alone is a fascinating overview of how strictly/loosely tattoo inks have been regulated in the past up until now. it's pretty eye-opening.

As tattoos continue to rise in popularity, the demand for tattoo ink has surged. Historically, tattoo inks have been underregulated in the US market. This study analyzes inks from nine different...

D201: I went back through some of the earlier molecular N2 reduction literature to catch up on references I had earmarked when writing my faculty proposals. So today, we're talking about model iron-based N2RR catalysts!.

D200: Someone asked me if I had something cool planned for number 200. I originally did not, but @AnnMarieMay22 showed me this post last week and I knew I was going to put it as the milestone paper! I love electrochemistry and now you can use it to make music!.

Check out our paper on the Electrochemical Synthesis of Sound in @ACSCentSci! We make sound from the motion of ions at the electrochemical interface, thereby gaining intuitive insight into dynamics occurring at the interface!
