Afternoon session of Origins of Biological Macromolecules is kicking off with Jay Forsythe and followed up by Paul Bracher Greg Springsteen @facundofGT, Chris Keating, Luke Leman and Aiko Guzman! Join us at #ACSSpring2021 !!

And we didn't even get to the afternoon session!! Be sure to join us all afternoon for more great #chemistry ! #NSFFunded

Super excited for Aaron's talk next to finish out our first session on the Origin of Biological Macromolecules at #ACSSpring2021 . Be sure to join some of this awesome session! Aaron Engelhart #GTalumni Georgia Tech College of Sciences U of M Research

Join us in 10 minutes at #ACSSpring2021 in our #Origin of Biological #Macromolecules session all day today!! GT (Bio)chemistry Georgia Tech College of Sciences #NSFFunded

So excited to see this work from @facundofGT and PD Marcos Bouza demonstrating the power of TENG devices for diverse applications! One thing leads to another...and another. Georgia Tech College of Sciences

Ten+ years. Hundreds of collaborations. Many (many) hours of intense meetings. Thousands of experiments repeated. Countless friendships made. A scientific legacy just beginning to be realized. Congrats team on a job well done!

The biopolymer love-fest continues with praise for the awesomeness of #RNA . Prof Lazcano spoke to lessons learned from #RNA viruses and Prof Williams on how exaptation was key to getting the #biomolecules of life. #BeOpenMinded #origins NASA Astrobiology: Exploring Life in the Universe Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience @ GT #evolution UNAM

Guessing Jay Forsythe and Paul Bracher were loving Luke Leman's proclamation that depsipeptides are SO COOL that they deserve to be studied for their own innate properties...not just as a possible peptide precursor! #Origins #DynamicChemistry U.S. National Science Foundation NASA Astrobiology: Exploring Life in the Universe Scripps Research

Inspiring talk about bio #homochirality by Donna Blackmond to finish up our first session today. Now a great conversation with our speakers about the complexity of #Origins research. @facundofGT Paul Bracher GroverGroup 🥽🧬⚗️ Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience @ GT Scripps Research Georgia Tech College of Sciences

Life is a complex system and likely so were it's origins... #TRUTH Martha GroverGroup 🥽🧬⚗️ speaks to the selection of molecules and the role of cycles in evolution. Love that former CCE student Christine He was the Suddath award winner in 2017! Nature Chemistry Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience @ GT ChBE @ Georgia Tech

A great first day--amazing talks and some really fabulous discussions with our speakers. Excited to continue this discussion tomorrow! Thanks Vicki Grassian Szostak Lab Greg Springsteen and the other non-tweeting speakers! Inspiring science! Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience @ GT U.S. National Science Foundation NASA Astrobiology: Exploring Life in the Universe #Origins

Getting into how small molecules and minerals influence the formation of biopolymers. Vicki Grassian is discussing pyruvic acid, surfaces and all the potentially cool chemistry in between! So happy to have our CCI buddy with us today! CAICE U.S. National Science Foundation Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience @ GT UCSD Chem Biochem

After a great talk, Dr. Krishnamurthy Scripps Research showed some great pics including this classic of CCE Director and Managing Director WAY more than 10 years ago! #Teamscience #Friends #Collaborations #AncientHistory

Not too late to join us! petitinstitute.gatech.edu/suddath-sympos…

And we're off! Thrilled to share so much exciting research on #Chemical #evolution over these next two days! Total #rockstar lineup kicked off by our Director, Nick Hud!

Hey CCI friends--know any energy enthusiasts looking for a new adventure? We've got a great position at GT open for a few more days! NSF CENTC fans, #CCISolar alum.. pass it on!

And last but certainly not least, we'll be chatting about #peptides , #RNA and #ribosomes and how they work so well together! Featuring #UNAM Prof. Lazcano, Scripps Research Dr. Leman and GT (Bio)chemistry Prof. Williams.
