Amazing hike with at Nicholas Ball and Wipf Group during our downtime at the #OrgSynYIW. Let me just say, we got our asses Wipf’d!

From Tuesday-Friday Steamboat was not only the home of 95 olympians but also 4 senior faculty who were awestruck by the superb chalk-talks of 14 talented young investigators #OrgSynYIW. It was a privilege to attend/organize. Thanks to Organic Syntheses Organic Syntheses for sponsoring!

Sagehen Beckman Scholars in full effect! Christina Beck ‘20, Brendan Terry ‘20, and Cristián Woroch ‘19 Cristian Woroch at the 2019 Beckman Symposium. Congrats to Ball Lab Alum Cristián Woroch for being selected as a speaker! Chirp! Beckman Foundation Pomona College

Check out our new Chemical Communications paper with the Sammis group at UBC Chemistry! A new way to make sulfonyl fluorides from Grignard reagents. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Check out our pre-print ChemRxiv with am Ende group Pfizer Inc.. One reaction can activate three S(VI) fluorides –sulfamoyl fluorides, fluorosulfates, and sulfonamides – to nitrogen-based S(VI) compounds using calcium at room temperature! chemrxiv.org/articles/SuFEx…

So yeah, Ball Lab is now NIH funded. Chirp! Pomona College

Congratulations to Ball Lab members Sam Khasnavis who has been named a 2020 Beckman Scholar and Jonathan Elisabeth ('23) for being named an ACS Scholar! Chirp, chirp! Beckman Foundation @ACS_Scholars Pomona College

Super excited to have a Sagehen (Pomona College) from my lab –Sabrina Carneiro – joining the Chemistry Ph.D. program at my alma mater Michigan Chemistry! Also, I have my first post doc (Dr. Ryan Cammarota from Sigman Lab ) & post-bac –Sam Khasnavis starting this summer! #chirp

Congrats to all the Sagehens who were named NSF graduate fellows! 11!!! Pomona College #chirp pomona.edu/news/2021/04/1…

Curious about S(VI) Fluorides in Catalysis? Check our Balllab and Sammis Group perspective in ACS Catalysis! Pomona College UBC Chemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Check out our new paper with Ogba group (Chapman U) revealing how Ca likely promotes Sulfur-Fluoride Exchange with S(VI) fluorides! Also demonstrates how Ca can now be catalytic. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Inorganic Chemistry Pomona College Chapman University #sufex

Notably, this paper is a rare (maybe first?) example of a collaboration between two queer, black scientists. Happy pride! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… DiversifyChem C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News)

Who is the Ball Lab and what have we been up to? Check this out!

Check out our new work in Chemical Communications. Facile synthesis of sulfonyl fluorides from sulfonic acids. This work features another collaboration with the Sammis Group at UBC Chemistry! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… Pomona College #SuFEx

Today the Ball lab celebrates its 10th publication and 300+ citations since 2017! Undergraduate research is impactful! Thanks to the over 40+ students and our wonderful collaborators! Chris am Ende @stieberlab Jennifer Love Glenn Sammis, & Maduka Ogba #pui Pomona College

Our recent work with the Sammis Group (UBC) in Chemical Communications is now featured on the cover of the latest issue! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… Pomona College UBC Chemistry

Congrats to Ball Lab postdoc - Dr. Ryan Cammarota - who will join the faculty at Cal State Fullerton Chem. Dept. as an Assistant Professor! Ryan has been a powerhouse in our lab and you will see his work hopefully this year. Thanks to Connie Lu and Sigman Lab for sending him our way!
