BREAKING NEWS: The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”

Best time to drink tea? This important research addresses challenging questions like time to drinkable tea (TTDT), crunch reduction, and biscuit dunk break point. See: bmj.com/content/379/bm… via The BMJ Needed: #TeamCoffee analysis!

This is the most incredible stuff you shall read in a long while. In life as in football... "A woman biking through town with a little boy on the back and a little girl on the side...In the rain. In the cold. In the dark...my mother just kept pedaling." theplayerstribune.com/articles/angel…

Excited to see our latest work in the area of ZrH catalysis now available on J. Am. Chem. Soc. ! We showcase the versatility of amides through this redox-economic approach. #catalysis Rebecca Baylor Chemistry The Welch Foundation pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Aspiring chemists interested in grad studies Baylor Chemistry: application fees are automatically waived for domestic applicants who apply by Dec 1! I’m looking forward to meeting the next generation of scientists interested in catalysis & org synthesis! 🧑‍🎓🧪shorturl.at/bkpFP

Interested in a catalytic method to directly convert esters to imines or enamines? Check out our preprint on #chemrxiv to preview the latest unconventional FG-interconversion enabled by ZrH catalysis! Baylor Chemistry chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Honored to be named among the 2024 Thieme Chemistry Journals Awardees. Many thanks to Chemistry at Thieme for the support and my stellar research group for their creativity and hard work! Congrats to all in year’s cohort – thieme.de/en/thieme-chem…

The group had a blast at TexSyn VI this past weekend! Congrats to Alexandra Lubaev on winning 1st prize in the poster session! Baylor Chemistry Thanks Powers Lab & Quentin Michaudel for organizing a stellar event Chemistry Department this year! Looking fwd to TexSynVII UT Dallas Chemistry

Enjoying #ACSFall2024 in Denver and looking forward to presenting in tomorrow’s DOC Academic Young Investigator Symposium! Be sure to drop by if you’re here- great line up of early career faculty

Latest work is out today as a 'HOT Article' in Chemical Science! Rebecca & @CO2PERATE_ESR13 Baylor Chemistry use Zr-catalysis to convert esters to imines & aldehydes, enabling new strategies for polyester depolymerization. Our group's #myfirstrchemsci: doi.org/10.1039/D4SC05…

After somewhat of a hiatus, I’m back to post some recent developments for the group: First up this week, our study on the catalytic dihalogenation of allenes is now online– kudos to the team for all their hard work! pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

Direct reductive amination of amides with sulfonamides at RT? ✅ Zr-catalysis makes it possible—mild, efficient, and selective for late-stage monoalkylation. Check out the latest paper from our group Baylor Chemistry now available online ACS Catalysis! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Why care? Amides are everywhere—in pharma, biomolecules, and materials. But using them as alkylating agents? Long-standing challenge. Until now. 👇 Check out our latest from the Romero Lab Baylor Chemistry Liela (Bayeh) Romero 🧪🔗 [pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…]

PhD #2 for the Romero group marks the end of an era for the first cohort of students– congrats to Dr. Alexandra Lubaev on completing the PhD! #ProudPI

Today marks 5 years for the group! Very grateful to 1) the creative, hardworking researchers I’ve worked with and 2) colleagues near are far who supported our efforts and my early bid for tenure. Excited to start the next chapter this August: Associate Professor with tenure
