Happy International Women’s Day! Today and everyday we celebrate these remarkable scientists. #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM UCLA Chem & Biochem

Congratulations to Georgia for receiving the 2023 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship!! UCLA Chem & Biochem UCLA @UCLAnewsroom #grfp

The overlooked benzene isomer 1,2,3-cyclohexatriene could become a powerful and versatile reagent in organic synthesis, enabling chemists to construct complex molecular architectures in just a few steps. chemistryworld.com/news/benzenes-…

So excited to have this online! I learned so much working on this project and got to work with a stellar team ✨

Cheers to our post-doc Francesca, who will be starting a tenure-track position at Hamline University this fall! 🥂 We will miss you, but we’re so excited to see what cool reactions the Ippoliti Lab develops! Garg Lab UCLA

A huge congratulations to Georgia and Jordan for crushing their Candidacy Exams yesterday! And a special shout-out to Grandpa Stoltz for crashing the after-party. Georgia Brian Stoltz UCLA Chem & Biochem

athavalegroup.org My group at UCLA is recruiting and I am eager to connect with postdocs, grad students and undergrads! Join us for exciting explorations in organic chemistry and bio(molecular) evolution! UCLA Chem & Biochem Chemistry at Illinois IISER Pune IISc Bangalore Frances Arnold

We are excited to share some of our efforts toward the total synthesis of keramaphidin B using a strained cyclic allene! Congrats to Milauni, Jordan, and Logan, better known as “Team Kemit”! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Milauni James Bachman UCLA Chem & Biochem

We recently taught kids 10-12 years old organic chemistry!  Kudos to the 'Chem Kids' for conquering o-chem and pummeling us at brain games. Shout-out to the Garg Lab members who did the heavy lifting and special thanks to Sletten Group UCLA Recreation @ucla UCLA Chem & Biochem.  #chemkids #ochem

Congrats to Georgia, Jordan, and Laura for publishing the synthesis of furoindolines from lactol precursors via an Interrupted Fischer Indolization in Organic Syntheses! Thanks to PChiu ChemGroup for checking! Read it here: orgsyn.org/demo.aspx?prep… UCLA Chem & Biochem Georgia Laura Wonilowicz

Please drop by Young Hall 3096 tomorrow from 1-2pm for a casual meet-the-speaker event with OCDS seminar speaker, Professor Steven Townsend! Also, if you are a student interested in dinner with the speaker, please email [email protected].

Happening TODAY!! 🐢🍃

Please save the date for the OCDS quarterly general meeting from 12-1pm this upcoming Wednesday, December 6th. Look out for updates on the location!

We were honored to host Professor Alshakim Nelson from the University of Washington as the OCDS speaker for the Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium last week. We got to chat with him about DEI and learn about awesome polymer and 3D-printing chemistry!! The Nelson Lab UWChemistry

Check out our review in RNA Biology! In collaboration with the Rao lab @ucla_pathology, we detail small molecule inhibition of RNA binding proteins in hematologic cancer. Congrats to all, including Georgia & Jacob! UCLA Chem & Biochem T&F Bioscience @uclahealth UCLA shorturl.at/fjRX1

Happy International Women’s Day!! We are so grateful to be able to train alongside such incredible scientists! #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM UCLA

OCDS General Meeting next Friday, April 5th at noon in Young Hall 4222C (the collaboratory) with lunch immediately following in Winstein. Please RSVP at this link: forms.gle/RyJEvqZPyK4XV7… or follow the QR code.

Shoutout to our outreach coordinators, Katie and Aryan for putting on an amazing Spring Showcase!! CCCP_UCLA

Shout out Garg Lab jog squad members Dani, Allison H., Georgia, Sarah, and Allison C., who all completed the LA half marathon on behalf of North Valley Caring Services! Special recognition goes to Georgia and Sarah, who placed 2nd and 3rd out of 516 in the women’s division!

Such a blast sharing my chemistry today at ACS! Excited for the rest of the week!
