scenes from a festive two weeks in the Leighton lab ft. our lab’s chemisTREE, Hunter’s spectacular holiday concert, and the legendary punch machine making it’s annual winter show appearance.

we're super excited to welcome our new (and youngest!) undergrad Omar to the group! Omar is a first-year majoring in Chemistry, who enjoys playing Tetris when not making ligand in lab.

Thanks ColorMePhD for making this young scientist very happy over the holidays!

Check out the latest from our group, what happens when you mix upconversion and photoredox catalysis, in collaboration with Rovis Group and CongreveLab We hope you find it enlightening 😎 nature.com/articles/s4158… @TomislavRovis @dncongreve Andrew Pun

Columbia’s first visit weekend is underway! A warm welcome to all our prospective students!

our undergrad @roshangbhaskar contributed to this project during his time at #BMSChemistry! check it out!

My favorite poster I've seen so far at #ACSOrlando. I hope he's giving a talk later...

the Leighton group showing off the magic of chemistry at Girls Science Day! #elephanttoothpaste Makeda Tekle-Smith @roshangbhaskar Campos Group

thoroughly enjoyed Ryan Shenvi’s talk at Columbia Chemistry last week! Shenvi Lab Scripps Research

our superstar Makeda Tekle-Smith was a student speaker at the WISC (Women in Science at Columbia) 3rd Annual Graduate Research Symposium!

Thanks Michigan Chemistry #NextProfScience for a great week!

our undergrad Omar presenting his research at the research for credit symposium!

congrats Makeda Tekle-Smith for winning the department’s Pegram Award for excellence in research and Noushad for winning the Miller Award for excellence in teaching! Also, s/o to James Shee (Friesner, Reichman) for winning the Hammett Award and for a great presentation!

our undergrad @roshangbhaskar just graduated magna cum laude with departmental honors in chemistry! congratulations! 🎊🥂

Congrats Mario!! Wishing you the best of luck with your graduate studies at Purdue Chemistry!

excited to share that our research associate Mario (Mario Rivera) and our undergrad Roshan (@roshangbhaskar) will be pursuing graduate studies at Purdue Chemistry and Stanford Chemistry respectively! Congratulations and good luck!! ⚗️🎓
