IT CONTINUES! Check out Talk #5 in our Advanced Organic Course on the topic of Reversible Reactions, given by Julia Reisenbauer (PhD from @MorandiLab ETH Zurich, SNSF Postdoctoral Fellow with Frances Arnold Caltech)!! Link: youtu.be/6DLUrPOkbHU

When I started reading papers, I did so haphazardly. I would have bits of the story, but often missed the big reason why a project is worth reading about. Watching research spotlights greatly improved my ability to read literature. Super grateful to have found this resource.

Today Dr. Jayabrata Das joins us to share his work with Debabrata Maiti on the synthesis of bicyclic lactones published a few months ago in Nature Chem!! Link: youtu.be/QrzxQh-mGg0 Key paper: NatureChem 2023, 15, 1626–1635. doi.org/10.1038/s41557…

Tune in this week as Jonas Rein and Soren Rozema share the story of their work on enantioselective aminoxyl radical catalysis, published in Science Magazine! youtu.be/wZDqNMDnHHo Ref: Science 2023, 380, 6646, 706–712. Thanks to Andy Tran for hosting!!

Congratulations to the MacMillan Group on their paper out today in nature: “Alkene dialkylation by triple radical sorting.” Well done Johnny, Will, and Dave! Story here: bit.ly/49vA4n6

Out now in Science, my first co-first author paper! Proud to have worked so hard with this team. Photochemical logic was instrumental in accessing these unique polyhalogenated targets! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

My first paper is out in JACS! Unintended byproduct of anxiety during the review process: at least I’ve made the habit of checking ASAPs before I sleep every night 😭. Thanks to Noah for being the greatest mentor ever!

Today we're joined by Dr. Johannes Lamhauge Jørgensen Group Johannes Lamhauge who shares his work on using asymmetric organocatalysis to build tropanes! Thanks to Andy Tran for hosting and editing!
